Pros

Get off early on Fridays during the summer is about the only pro.

Cons

Pay sucks!!! Expect to work long hours without deserved pay. The company thinks its okay to pay for your lunch once a month to make up for the low pay. Raises (if any) are a joke. Human resources is made up of one person who doesn't have a clue what is going on in the company. When problems are brought to human resources, they simply give you an excuse to mull over the situation and it never gets resolved. The turn over rate is ridiculous. Do not get used to seeing/ working with someone for very long. Every other month someone is leaving the company. Once those people leave, be prepared to take on more and more work. Also, Senior or Upper management position play favorites. It is clear that employees who are closer to those in upper positions are securing their jobs. Also, there is a clear divide among departments.

Cordium Response

This comment, while feedback is appreciated, bears no resemblance to actual recorded facts and issues. The inferred ratios and issues appear to be worded such that they indicate a personal perception. Cordium cares for its people, their well-being and their professional development. Just like any other company Cordium can always improve but a prerequisite is for any issues to be brought to our attention. The 'parting shot' nature of the comment appears gratuitous given the absence of a record of the specified issues having been brought to managements' attention by any employee within the period referred to.

Pros

For the most part, it's a great group of people. Fully stocked kitchen, frequent lunches/events, 1/2 day Fridays, and a lot of vacation days (more than you'll probably get anywhere else). Not a lot of micro-management, which means you can do most of your work independently/at a reasonable pace. Flexible/casual scheduling, and a casual dress code. These things can go a long way - however...

Cons

You get a lot of vacation days to offset the fact that the insurance benefits are pretty awful. There's a mentality from some members of management that is "do as I say, but not as I do." This can be frustrating. At times, it feels like the US arm of the company is run like a "family owned" business, rather than a global firm with nearly 200 employees. There seems to be a large divide when it comes to compensation. Some people are very well compensated, while others are barely making enough to live.
