The new and improved UBC

Pros

Promotes from within and many positions have growth potential, very competitive wages, decent benefits, excellent 401k program, a "family feel" these colleagues are friends for life

Cons

the office could use a facelift in the original area, has been too long without paint and the carpets are worn, we've grown and expanded so many times, there's a lot of fresh new sections, but the original office space remains untouched

Un Believably Crappy (UBC)

Pros

Free electronic screen wipes and coffee in the break room. Work from home 2x week but not a Friday with a following Monday (strictly). That’s the best that can be said about UBC.

Cons

Too many to mention. A couple of examples... - you reserve a conference room for a client call only to find that a VP or the Pres. has stolen your room without telling you, so you need to find a new space at the last minute. You and your team are late for the client call. Frequent occurrence, not just once in a while. - your contract requires a technology implementation. Your management signs the agreement knowing there are not enough IT resources to implement said project. Client is dissatisfied because their implementation is delayed. Finance and sr. Management is unhappy because revenue is delayed since you couldn’t bill the client for the project on time. Everyone is extremely overworked and stressed. Overall, a very unpleasant place to work. AVOID UBC unless you are desperate for some temporary income.

Pros

Free pretzel Tuesdays, the team I work with

Cons

Very stressful, lack of cooperation and response from internal team members including Senior Management, only employees who worked together at another CRO with the president move up the ladder and are able to ride the wave without putting in much effort
