Pros

My coworkers are great and very talented and hard working. We really do hire a lot of talented people. Software Development team has flexibility in using what ever tools we need to get the job done , ie. iPads, iPhones, etc in spite of official policies otherwise. Lots of social activities and community activities.

Cons

Reactionary leadership constantly causes issues. Always seems that the new emergency overrides best practices and the new emergency is often caused by the response to te previous emergency. Thought leadership is encouraged in word but rarely in deed. Management to just expects you to meet your deliverables and not cause them. Some are promoted to management just because they hav been around long enough it seems and thy don't have much in the way of leadership skills. Training is encouraged company wide but rarely supported by management and there is a great deal of confusion about how to actually get approval for training.

Pros

Pretty flexible. It's cool if you get on a project with a good client, because honestly you will become like a low-class employee at that company who they all dont care about and expect you not to be around very long so if you can deal with that then you can try and have a good time with them.

Cons

Honestly can't believe the audacity and entitlement of the middle management at this place. For example, last year everybody got about 3% merit raises (not at all keeping up with inflation but still something). This year, they were working with the same pool of funds to work with for raises, but made a "business decision" to consolidate the raises to only management. The rest of us got nothing. And the TOLD us they kept everything for themselves. And in addition to that, they twisted the knife by COMPLAINING to the whole department on a department call that their bonuses weren't enough. Just tone-deaf and careless mostly.
