Pros

Benefits were good before they got bought out in June 2010 and there was no probationary period. Deadlines were more than reasonable and the work was challenging but not stressful. Folks helped each other out across teams. You were exposed to many different technologies.

Cons

During my last couple months we found out a main competitor, HireRight was interested in buying us, which it ultimately did. Thus I wound up leaving and most folks jumped ship shortly afterwards. There was very little room for advancement and most folks filling the higher positions came from outside the company. Salaries were very low compared to market across all levels.

Pros

Interesting work with attention to detail and an intensive emphasis on interpersonal relations. High profile employment activity with the benefits of working from home.

Cons

Work from home without an office does not allow for much human interaction with co workers other than interviewing and other formal interactions.

Pros

You are able to work reasonably independently; the work is a desk job and co-workers are very helpful and knowledgeable. The pay is decent for an entry level position, and the actual tasks performed can be interesting at times (calling people's references and former employers can sometimes make for interesting conversation). There are a variety of health insurance plans, and finding an affordable plan is not a problem. The location is nice, and the office has nice accomodations. The company is established and reputable, and under the larger umbrella of MMC.

Cons

Supervisors and management are not very knowledgeable of the processes taking place within the department. Depending on the department, there is not very much room for advancement. The pay is decent, but not great, and definitely not enough to raise a family on unless you move up into supervisor/management level.
