Pros

Management is very accomadating for work/life balance. The salary is above average, especially in these economic times. Some of the projects are very interesting, not to be found in any other industry.

Cons

Management puts more weight on retaliation than anything else. The interview process (at most sites) is very lightweight, not a proper gateway for the best braintrust. Only the site near CMU has had an exemption on a Google-like stringent interview process.

Pros

Some of my peers were friendly and encouraging, especially when I made their lives easier. The 9/80 work week was a major perk. Online, free and self-directed training was abundant. Landlocked work location provides isolation from rapid change environment.

Cons

Budgets tight, raises frozen, frustrations abound. Opportunities and promotions seem to be done behind closed doors with no obligation to promote from within. Little peer socialization outside the workforce and organized company events were clicquish. Newbies are subjected to tales of fraternization and many warnings not to trust the locals. Ideas for improvement are not valued

Pros

They paid well, it provided relevant job experience as an aspiring IT professional. Reasonable demands from managers as far as workload went.

Cons

The building felt too large and cold. Many of the individuals working there were not very friendly or outgoing types. I suppose that probably has a lot to do with living in Pittsfield for an extended period.
