- Occasional overtime
- Acquisition by larger corporation has shaken up the culture and team
- Vacation earned on check-by-check basis. Many contract with right-to-hire and take no vacation, then stuck with earning it.
- The most efficient solution is not always the solution the middle management chooses
- Tend to break processes after they are proven to work, after they are refined for optimum efficiency
- General low morale from assimilating to parent company's desires
- Being given 3 days off at the end of the year and then not being paid for them is cheap.
- Markets can be volatile and affect raises
- Cannot advance based on merit/skills alone, it has a time component
- Global management means that a regular employee does not have any chance of mingling with upper management if one so desired it
- Business occasionally oversells the development
- Fail to hire new people in a timely manner as people leave, which seems to be foolish
- Great minds have left because they felt they weren't learning anything or weren't challenged enough
- If you don't have kids, there will be less leniency for personal life conflicts
- Some managers are paranoid
- Parking can be tricky on the Maritz campus; if you don't arrive early enough, there are no spaces close to the building
- No official "paid lunch" concept, either you work while you eat or you stay late, though I've seen that violated without repercussion. Some managers only care if you leave the building since it takes a minimum of an hour if you sit down at a restaurant away from campus. The inconsistency can be annoying.
