Too Difficult to Get the Job Done

Pros

Most of the new hires are excellent! Casual dress code, impressive state of the art campus, on-site gym (requires membership), xbox rooms, good bonuses, great noise suppression technology

Cons

Too many hoops to job through in order to get anything done. Most of the systems are on incredibly out-dated technology. Did I mention that it's difficult to get anything done? No cubicles, it's one of those "collaborative" workspaces, which means that you get about three feet worth of desk space on a long work surface. And it is so bogged down with bloated "processes" that it takes a longer than it should to get anything done.

Pros

Most managers want to see you succeed.

Cons

Very political. Also, the sales desk hires young people and it's like a never ending frat party...drinking and inappropriate relationships outside of the office that carry over to awkward daily encounters in the office and GOSSIP.

Pros

The company cares about its customers. The benefits are good. If you like political environments, you will thrive.

Cons

The company does not care about its employees The senior leadership commits to impossible deadlines and then expects team to work unlimited hours with no comp time or overtime pay. Review process is reprehensible. Managers meet and discuss each person so basically it becomes a popularity contest. Then there is a forced ranking so if all persons on a team are equal the curve forces someone to the bottom for a low rating.
