Pros

-The people - I had so many amazing colleagues who I have stayed friends with and still see often after leaving the company. -Great benefits package.

Cons

-Executive leadership was terrible - the CEO seems to not give a care and never visits any satellite offices. -Overall there is a feeling that people don't matter to this company or to the execs - they laid off a lot of key people and promoted some people who are dead weight (but good yes-men). -They started out with a lot of energy and excitement over becoming a 'startup' after leaving Vision Critical, but this was wasted quickly when everyone discovered that it wasn't a startup, it was a 'new' company with a stuffy, old-world corporate feeling. As a result, their turnover rate is incredibly high. A lot of great employees have fled and will continue to flee if they don't change things drastically.

Pros

Nice coworkers usually. Wants to be good.

Cons

This place has no money. They fire people all the time because they can’t afford them. Too many successful businesses in the area to settle.It’s not the right area for them.
