Pros

Your work has a big impact across a lot of customers. I believe there is a lot of opporunties to impact your work area and other groups that you interact with. Project planning is interesting as Agile/Scrum is used to create short sprints of work and packaging of efforts into digestible deliverables. The people are great to work with and the environment is open and conducive to innovation. There is flexibility in work schedules and work life balance is important to both direct management and indirect (a couple of floors up). I believe this keeps up the morale around here. Senior management marches slowly forward in good strategic steps.

Cons

You are working for a large company with significant bureauracy. The bureauracracy tends to make change difficult to instill in a distributed workforce required to implement the Kronos products. The benefits, while not bad are at market but not above. Compensation is okay as the HR function keeps a tight handle on wages and Kronos does not pay above market at any time. As with a large bureauraacy communication stumbles daily. Each group seems to have another agenda and without strong communication we can and do step on each others toes from time to time. Because our division is on the opposite side of the country from HQ we are the wild children away from the nest.

Pros

Working from home and the benefits are okay, but not really any different from those in most other organizations.

Cons

Too many managers are ill-informed about how much work there is to complete. Too many meetings pull employees away from work, yet they are chastised for work-life balance. I do not want to miss a deadline, so I work extra hours but don't report them. Processes seem to change daily. People-first is all but forgotten. Customer service is the unsung hero, carrying the weight of the world but often overlooked. Unrealistic classroom times leave little to no time for Q&A. There are manager pets and clicks in the organization. "Ohana" (meaning Family) is a joke. Do not share innovations with others; they are often stolen by others who will take accolades and credit for themselves. There are egotistical managers who could use a lesson in humility. Growth is nearly impossible. Personal review is a waste of my time. The manager is going to override my ratings with their own. Just give me my review and let's get on with it. It's been all downhill since the merge. Layoffs are a constant worry.
