      A nice place to work but the company is a bit short sighted and slow to move

      Pros

      There is generally a feeling of flexibility regarding work hours and working from home. The office location is also ideal for anyone that lives in Sussex or Morris County NJ.

      Cons

      Long hours, work load is too much for the size of the staff, Cost cutting initiatives resulted in outsourcing (offshore) and a reduction of long term staff.

      Pros

      Pay and bonus is good, free parking, and flexible work schedule.

      Cons

      Work load is to large for small staff, causing priorities to be change daily and long hours. Application development done offshore is not reviewed by Selective IT employees. QA is also done offshore, so only acceptance testing is done by Selective employees which often is too late to be fixed before code goes into production. Top heavy with management that are out of touch with application developers. Newly hired managers are unqualified and don't bring much needed outside perspective. There is very little job growth, and training is rarely approved. IT application development staff has decreased even though number of managers has increased.

      Pros

      I really enjoy the people I work with every day. I feel the overall benefits are decent and management does try to make it fun

      Cons

      There really are not any opportunities for advancement at this location. Pay not commensurate with experience. Company is slow to change and accomplish things
