Pros

5 week vacation, good health insurance

Cons

Lack of leadership, lack of strategy, no business focus, no career advancement or professional training. HUGE buddy-system, extremely UK centric - anything that doesn't come out of the UK it's seen as not good. C-executives have no clue of what they are doing, they have no knowledge of what's going on nor they care

Pros

- day-to-day work is interesting - (some) bright colleagues (most have left or were laid off in lieu of lower-cost labor in mexico and india) - easy to clock in / clock out / get a paycheck

Cons

- no career opportunity - compensation & ratings not tied to performance - pay is below market - leadership does not understand the product nor our clients pain points - constantly being asked to do more with less - offshoring / layoffs (if i had to guess probably >15-20% of the company has been offshored or cut following the veritas acquisition) - morale has tanked; no longer excited to go to work - standards for hiring have dropped - underinvestment in products that actually drive value for clients
