Cons

-Technology and software are not current -Most programming positions use antiquated, non-OOP language, MAPPER -In-house training is poor (inconsistent, sink-or-swim mentality, no continuous training) -Individual reviews focus more on team errors/interaction than on individual accomplishments -Little to no advancement opportunities -Company advertises work-life balance, but many programmers have weekly required overtime -Company advertises work-from-home 1 day/week option, but you must be exempt and *exceed* your expectations for 3 consecutive annual reviews to be considered eligible- which does not guarantee that your individual department will allow you to do so -Comp time is not offered for exempt employees -PTO takes a long time to build -Executive VP for Corp. Development doesn't even pretend to care about employees
