Pros
- Great individual contributors who are highly overlooked and undervalued. Very collaborative and helpful environment amongst peers, but don't count on it at a management level. - Benefits package (medical, dental, etc.) was good.
Cons
Are you guys thirsty? Be sure to ask the Directors to have some of their Kool-Aid because they’re drinking enough for everyone. - Regulatory has had ~40% turn over within the last two years but management doesn't bat an eye and refuses to acknowledge that there's a problem. No need for layoffs because people are running away as fast as they can. - 10-12 hour days are considered the “normal” baseline and it’s all about being seen in the office as late as possible as opposed to working smart and getting done in a shorter amount of time. - Work morale and office culture is abysmal despite great individual workers. Directors tend to hone in on what employees do wrong and criticize rather than appreciating and praising what they’re doing right. - Don't even think about getting promoted. It’ll only come if you’re already on the cusp of quitting or they're worried that you will quit, to which management will panic and throw everything they have toward you. Their best interest is with themselves and not losing face, not the growth of their employees. - Considering a contract position? Save yourself and your time. It is extremely hard to get converted. By the time you're trained, it's time for you to leave anyway.
