Pros

Nice people to work with No hassle of going to NYC Good view of the city, Nice location Some good benefit package (health benefits)

Cons

Parking Commuting Lack of management support Salary is low, not much of raise and promotion Recognition is very low Lack of technical knowledge by the upper management Many people leave for better paying/motivating jobs. Starting to hire more outsource Promotion seems to be given to friends of management Have to play politics to get to anywhere, who speak louder are getting ahead and who works hard and keeping quiet are getting abused.

Pros

Professional environment. Hey, it's a job!

Cons

Not allowing telecommuting is a huge CON! Almost everything I do is via computer so coming in 5 days a week is absolutely not necessary. I don't mind coming in, but between gas, tolls, parking, and wear-and-tear on my vehicle, just getting to work takes up almost half of my take home pay. In addition, they give 17 paid time off (PTO) days per year (THIS INCLUDES SICK DAYS). If you get sick once you can forget about going on vacation. That is just not a realistic amount of time to be sick, see doctors for regular check-up visit and also have personal and vacation time. What about if your children are sick? It's extremely NON-competitive in that sense. I have less days off per year than anyone I know. It makes balancing work and life very difficult and is bad for mental well-being. In addition, the salary is NOT very competitive, the trend is to come to ISO, gain experience, and then go to another company and make twice as much. It that sense, they should offer more incentives to stay.
