Pros

Top notch colleagues. Collegiate atmosphere. Amazing access to management. A phenomenal place to learn.

Cons

A disruptive approach to organizational management and perpetual cost cutting calls has permanently jeopardized this firm's ability to attract or retain talent. Reorganizations, reporting line changes, layoffs, offshoring and a constant fixation on commoditizing IT are making this company less and less fun to work for.

Pros

Can’t think of 1. Not even 1.

Cons

Pay is the lowest compared to similar company with the same role. Upper management speaks to staff with a patronizing tone; cutting them off, and talking down to them. At times it felt like they purposefully were attempting to find things wrong instead of working together as a team to meet objectives. Understaffed. Fully expected to do the work of a team of 6 despite being a team of 2 for example.
