Pros

Good people to work with, dedicated and friendly.

Cons

Completely ineffective producers whose only job is to communicate and organize fail every day to communicate and organize. Always holding unneeded meetings that take hours and taking away from limited production time. Never held accountable for failed production. We could get three times more work done if management knew what they were doing. Top heavy management. more managers than are really needed. middle management is toxic and we can't get anything done. Nobody communicates. Company is losing its software engineers quickly because they won’t stop and listen to what is wrong and adapt. very amateur operation.

Pros

Definitely more cons to pros. Pros would include great co workers, decent pay compared to other industries, solid PTO/benefits, and opportunity to work for big company with a ton of resources.

Cons

No career advancement. Lot of favoritism from upper management towards undeserving individuals. The hard workers are not appreciated and recognition is based on who the person is and not necessarily the individual work output/expertise. Balances between workload and responsibilities is not even; many are overworked whereas others have much more time on their hands. Cost cutting initiatives prevent recognition for valuable hardworking employees especially when output and responsibilities are not reciprocated by title and/or pay.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits depending on the job.

Cons

Company is unorganized to the point of being dysfunctional. Manager had an attention span of about 12 seconds. Got cussed out for missing work with the flu, had a Dr. Note.
