Pros

Used to be a good place to work.

Cons

Metrics and numbers Driven, despite not understanding we are not a manufacturing company. Low salaries, that are not competitive. Reorganizing and layoffs which effectively pushed away talent and didn't cut the unnecessary employees who contribute nothing to bottom line. Too afraid to ever take risks. Thus always late to the game, vs. the rest of the market. Overwhelmed with bureaucracy and red tape

Pros

(At the time) Fair pay and predictable bonus structure They were pretty good at covering travel expenses and paying them back quickly Diverse workforce & diversity initiatives Fun and funny coworkers Opportunities for growth Again, this was all four years ago and has likely changed

Cons

(At the time and now, according to other comments) Arrogant to a fault Total lack of innovation & willingness to innovate Odd attachment to the company's past (which prevents progress) High number of veterans (20+ years) who are determined to get that retirement money, and therefore, are resistant to change and technology Heavy reliance on command and control management style Poor decision-making that leads to losses of all kinds
