      I have been working at Long View Systems full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      The people make Long View. From the very top of the company right the way down, there is a willingness to help and work together to make your work and personal life better. The company are winning new business all the time, and you feel that you’re part of something awesome!

      Cons

      There’a not much that I would class as a negative, though I haven’t had much in the way of management or training, which isn’t a major issue.

      Advice to Management

      Keep doing what your doing

      Pros

      Free Lunch on Thursday, all day fruit and drinks for everyone in kitchen.!

      Cons

      Some people are good, but Management and Account Executives doesn’t know the clear path they do politics, not have clear communication to employees.! You have to do everything irrespective of your position or what ever you are, pretty hectic environment, sometimes give feeling of harassment!

      Advice to Management

      Must be clear on communication!

      Pros

      People across all branches want to help and support each other. Lots of offerings to help clients. Dozens of talented resources.

      Too much process at times, a little over staffed with non-contributors.

      Advice to Management

      Review superfluous roles and trim to increase efficiency and profitability.

      I worked at Long View Systems full-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      If you are interested in your personal development - excellent growth and learning opportunities. Working with the brand new technologies. The compensation package is good and you'll get a share of the profit you generate (you better generate it).

      Cons

      Sales matter, technology people are disposable. If you're not related to sales, consider yourself a subcontractor: you're expected to work on your projects, submit time reports and not bother upper management with your existence. No team meetings, you won't know what your peers are working on (unless you are on same project), all the branch meetings are about sales and profits.
      They preach care about people but if there's slowdown and you do not bring profit or you messed up somebody's sales - you'll be disposed of without any mercy and your name will never be heard, often you'd find out that the person is gone only when email bounces back.

      Advice to Management

      Actually do what you preach.
