Pros

Small-ish company. Managers tend to give employees and consultants a fair chance to prove themselves and improve their skills. Employees tend to stay on for longer periods of time. Nice benefit package.

Cons

They need fresh talent at all levels. Many of the employees have been there a long time and have limited experience outside of ETS. As a result, they are often 'reinventing the wheel' or not doing things according to industry best practices. This is especially true in the IT groups. Many of their processes around IT development are not as mature as one would think for such an old company, but this goes back to the lack of fresh talent. No real bonus.

Pros

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Cons

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
