A huge mistake...

Pros

Good salary, excellent bonus, free parking, cafeteria is amazing, 9/80, decent benefits. Galleria location is nice, free cokes in the kitchens. Fine for someone who is career-entry. Stay a couple of years, bank your bonus, and know that you will likely take a cut to leave.

Cons

Micro-managing, soul-crusing, sadistic managers. Not enough work to fill up the day and the work itself is tedious and boring. Like working for the DMV, or on an assembly line. Just tighten your widget (or update your PowerPoint slide) until the whistle blows. Cameras are everywhere, including outside the restroom. Everywhere you go is monitored, I wouldn't be surprised if they had keystroke loggers. Managers are more interested in clock watching and pouncing on people for leaving their desk than in doing actual work. Personal cell phones are not allowed, and managers will repremand people if they catch them using them. Internet usage is tightly monitored and controlled. There are procedures for every single facet of your job. Nothing can be done without consulting the procedures, reviewing them, writing a research paper about the process and getting it approved. Complete analysis paralysis at all times. Promotions are totally based on brown-nosing. Pay scale is far above title, so people who are there more than a couple of years become trapped and bitter. Turnover is very high, close to 20%+ in professional positions from what I saw, not counting the people who came and left within the first two weeks.

Pros

Great salary, good career growth opportunities, good environment, great benefits, awesome cafeteria. They hire a lot of young people.

Cons

Very slow processes. you also have QA come behind you and look over every single detail of your work and they love to issue exceptions, which can affect your bonus. if i were to decide to leave the company, they would be the reason why.

Pros

*worked with a new division - onshore department *can learn a lot from other coworkers *very fair pay and great benefits * 9/80 schedule

Cons

*the company doesn't get onshore - it's not the same as offshore. The rules are different *how many contractors can you hire and fire in one week? It's a very common practice *no one knows what they are doing because they lack direction. *try to get permissions to do any work is impossible
