Pros

Good emphasis on work/life balance.

Cons

Extremely restrictive hiring practices. Unfair bonus distribution - first company I've ever worked at where bonuses are not prorated for employees past their probationary period. I was at PSGS for ten months in 2009, and while co-workers who were there on Jan 1. 2009 got a full bonus for the year, I got nothing, simply because I wasn't hired until February 2009 - this, despite an "Excellent" review and many thanks and kudos from the client. Detached management - the only time I ever hear from my "Technical Area Manager" at Perot is when some mandatory training needs completion or when the manager is required to have a face-to-face with me (as with the "ooops, no bonus" discussion). Still, my manager has never responded to several requests for a F2F meeting to discuss my PSGS performance evaluation, which did not match the client's evaluation. The acquisition by Dell seems to have turned the PSGS organization into a mess of hard-to-find benefits information and benefits that are slightly more restrictive and more expensive than earlier PSGS offerings - to get my previous pricing on prescription drugs, I must now mail-order them, creating problems for me and my doctor.

Pros

The paycheck was adequate for the work performed and the hours expected were pretty much set in stone. Overtime was not a requirement. In fact, it was strictly forbidden.

Cons

It seemed to me that the major problem was bad management resulting in large problems, and then the yelling, panic, and hyper-focus on cutting costs would make everyone forget that the problem was the bad management and not the employees execution. I can't tell you how many times our job was threatened if we didn't help management cut costs that never should have been there in the first place. Constant fear of unemployment ruled.

Pros

good money, large enough to move to othe departments to round out experience level. Relatively speaking benefits are decent but not great.

Cons

stale leadership, vanilla products, too big to effect change from top down or vice versa, decided to lay off people and instead of making one big cut continue to chip away continuously for years now.
