Pros
Flexible work hours, 18 PTO days a year, a lot of company vacations, work from home is very flexible,free parking, nice downtown office, in the heart of downtown. This is a good company for a new graduate to get some IT experience.
Cons
Managers and supervisors are worthless. All supervisors are good for is changing procedures on the fly, allowing you to work from home whenever you want, and any HR related items. Training just does not exist here be prepared to learn on your own. Asking a supervisor a question will just lead to that supervisor going to someone they supervises for an answer to give you. This is due to supervisors not knowing anything about the application or products their employees work on. The department always tries to set up training's and workshops on meaningless topics. Agile at amtrust doesn't mean Agile but it means Agile plus randomness that goes on here. Supervisors are not supposed to influence teams in any such way but here at Amtrust they do just that. Supervisors and managers hire their family and friends to sit around and do nothing what so ever to collect that paycheck.
