EMC Insurance Reviews

-Technology and software are not current -Most programming positions use antiquated, non-OOP language, MAPPER -In-house training is poor (inconsistent, sink-or-swim mentality, no continuous training) -Individual reviews focus more on team errors/interaction than on individual accomplishments -Little to no advancement opportunities -Company advertises work-life balance, but many programmers have weekly required overtime -Company advertises work-from-home 1 day/week option, but you must be exempt and *exceed* your expectations for 3 consecutive annual reviews to be considered eligible- which does not guarantee that your individual department will allow you to do so -Comp time is not offered for exempt employees -PTO takes a long time to build -Executive VP for Corp. Development doesn't even pretend to care about employees

If you are in IT, you must commit to this place or leave quickly because you will not be able to use these skills ANYWHERE else. No one uses this language and the interactive systems are slow and clunky because they have to work with mapper. There is very much an attitude of "if it ain't your job, don't worry about it". I brought several issues to the attention of my managers and was told we don't care about that, it's another area's problem. Nepotism is common and promotions are handed out based on time in chair rather than ability. Not surprisingly no one ever retires so there is very little room for advancement.
