Pros

A consistent paycheck Benefits are comparable to other large companies

Cons

Skeleton crew departments--departments are way understaffed Be prepared to work your tail off with little chance to get a raise--review system is a joke lack of reward/recognition system...it was taken away with nothing to replace it lack of quality management--managers will hold meetings just for the sake of having meetings with little being actually accomplished too much management--manager titles are thrown around like confetti, there are some managers who manage 2-3 people, some don't manage any work is consistently being outsourced to China, India, and Phillipines company has lost its focus--it's all about increasing the bottom line, clients aren't even an afterthought If you aren't brown nosing someone, there's not much room for advancement--more of a chance of getting laid off than getting promoted Company is very cheap---have to pay $2 a week for jeans day Friday, there will probably be no Christmas party as a cost saving initative...coffee maker was taken away since it was getting too costly

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
