Is this your company?

Pros

It used to be location but can't say that that applies any longer.

Cons

I was not challenged or encouraged to grow professionally during my time nor was I ever once asked about improvements to the organization. Relationships with other employees were very much discouraged and frowned upon. I once got a cake for a departing employee and I was reprimanded that said employee did not "meet the criteria" to receive a cake, even though I had personally paid for the cake out of my pocket. My performance review was presented to me by being left on my chair and there was never a conversation with my supervisor about its contents which is sort of antithetical to its purpose. During my stay I think that it would be fair to say that fear was used as a primary motivator. Thick skin is definitely a requirement to work here. Def

Pros

The staff and management is first rate. It's definitely not a place for slackers or complainers because the pace is fast and staff is expected to do their best. The CEO is a great leader, not just for IS staff but for the entire sector. The IS Conference is one-of-a-kind, providing the best networking, professional development and innovative programming to be had anywhere.

Cons

There is no downside if you are a hard worker, want to perform at your highest level, and want to be part of a great team. If you want to go along and get along, definitely look elsewhere. Staff is high performing, driven and committed so you need to be on your game 100 percent of the time.
