Pros

Good benefits, good pay.

Cons

This company used to be almost like a family - everyone used to look out for each other and work together as a team. Now, the company is very divided. Operations is it's own entity and management has let them down on several occasions. There is no support or transparency from management - they keep a ton of secrets instead of being open with the operations team when it comes to decisions and things that directly affect them. Hiring takes forever - when a team that used to have 12 employees becomes a team with 6, they need help. It shouldn't take months to hire employees when there is both an urgent need AND available people within the company who are willing to join the team immediately. Operations is told to work extensive hours and get little to no recognition or compensation for the amount of work that they put in. When the company started, and even years later when I joined, we had amazing people with great skill sets working here. These great people have become tired, overworked, and under-appreciated. Now, the morale throughout the teams is at an all time low.

Pros

Most of the local staff are awesome and dedicated, and benefits seem better than average compared to other companies this size

Cons

Corporate leadership. Everything micromanaged from the WCG corporate office, to most staff it looks like even senior managers aren't allowed to make a decision without approval from Princeton. State of the company presentations consistently show the company is doing better than expected and we are told that everything is going back to invest in the company and people, but bonuses are small or not paid out at all, hiring freezes are put in place, and technology is outdated. Entry level employees are mandated to work over 10 hours of overtime week after week. Little respect for work life balance unless you have a good manager. Maternity benefits are a joke but that's true everywhere. Telecommuting policy is a pro but management places excessive restrictions on remote work.
