Pros

Some nice and talented people. Work life balance respected by some managers. Was able to work OT from home; may not still be the case.

Cons

Some managers were inept. Deadlines were often unrealistic. At corporate level they were more concerned about bottom line than employees. Some people at other sites had unfounded low opinion of Boston site. Boston site treated poorly.

Pros

Good support for new people managers were very helpful and always available

Cons

Micromanage every second of your time; have to put in a request to go to the bathroom and wait for someone to grant it Expect you to put exceptions to your time after your shift ends on your own time Half hour lunch by the time I brought my lunch or heated my leftovers and went to the bathroom. I barely had time to wolf it down. Unrealistic call times Systems are horrible and crashing all the time expect you to be in at least 15 minutes before your shift unpaid to set up all the programs on your computer
