Too much work no reward

Pros

Only good thing is the pay

Cons

- Lack of communication from top down - No employee recognition unless you want to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week and when you take PTO you need to still have to have your work phone and take no break and respond to anything work related - they put too much work on one employee and do not resource teams. They expect one employee to handle responsibility that should be split up between five employees, and then fire that employee for not fitting the “culture” - managers literally expect you to work weekends - do not recommend this place unless you want to sell your soul to this company

Pros

You will learn a lot and not realize it. The fringe benefits are great, such as the cafeteria and building. Most people are great and will help you out when you ask.

Cons

Lots of presentations! Seems like more work on them than actual work on the project. No bonuses or extra pay until manager level. So many middle managers! They will push you and load you up with work. If you have a family, less and less time will be with them. If you like to drink the kool-aid, you'll do great!
