Pros

New location was good because it was in the middle of town and commute was not bad. Got movie tickets at a cheaper price.

Cons

Hours are long, the departments are always pointing fingers. A lot of people are always angry. Project timelines are a joke. Very old school mentality. Please do not work here unless you are really desperate. I would ask around, most people i think that have left the company or have been laid off have the same impression.

Pros

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Cons

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
