Pros

-Big international company with job opportunities -Benefits and pay are competitive, IF you ask -Peers are mostly like-minded

Cons

-Participation in non-required activities and meetings like weekly touchpoints and monthly company community are weighed heavier than actual job performance in terms of who to promote. These are also events that people are expected to attend, regardless of other job responsibilities. -Promotions are 100% the result of favoritism, resulting in ill-prepared and unqualified people being placed in leadership positions. This leads to failure. -Many people here work their tails off, but aren't recognized unless their in inner-circles of team leads and project management. -Project management seems lost sometimes. Constantly chasing new ideas and discarding ones that work. -Projects have their own cliques that defend their own people. Ex: if one person is under-performing the group will defend them for months, making excuses to leadership -Effective strategies include "shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic"

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
