Pros

Great place if you like working in a pack of rabid wild dogs.

Cons

When Kapsch took over our contract, I should have run. They want absolutely no feedback from employees and discourage employee growth. Everyone was looking for other employment. The turnover rate skyrocketed when they took over our contract. Everyone's mental health deteriorated and the management is disconnected or meek. Inadequate training and equipment to properly perform the job. Employees that like to sabotage others are promoted and rewarded. Good work is not only unacknowledged, but you are expected to do more work while receiving a pay cut. There is no room for advancement and there are salary caps in place. Everyone is terrified of the petty office tyrant but if anyone speaks up, they shut down the complaint.

Many Positives With Some Growing Pains

Pros

Senior technical and management level employees get paid quite well. Pay for entry level employees is probably about average. The company is VERY good about promoting internally or allowing lateral moves to let people try new things. Quality of life is very dependent upon the group you are in. If you're a project manager in the PMO, the time commitment can be high. If you're in one of the solution centers, there is generally a better work life balance (with the exception of a couple overworked engineering teams). The working environment is very enjoyable. Everyone is very approachable, all the way up to the CEO level. Good ideas are valued over rank. The company has been growing at an incredible rate. There is plenty of job security and opportunity to be had. Overall, the benefits package is probably slightly above average in quality.

Cons

Along with the tremendous growth and integration of newly acquired businesses, the company has had difficulty establishing well defined processes. It can be confusing at times to figure out the, "How do we usually do this?" type scenarios. The company has struggled to hire enough people to match its growth. The hiring momentum has really started to pick up in recent months, however, so this problem should start going away soon.

Pros

Travel expenses were covered well. Benefits

Cons

Bad place to work. They can make you travel and stay and work in another country without authorization. Will train you how to lie to border security. If you are caught you can be banned from entering that country at which point they will not do anything about it and say sorry. Stay away
