Pros

The management has no clue what you are doing most of the time.

Cons

Everything. Senior management is incompetent on a good day. Simply put, this place is a sweat shop and the employees get no respect or recognition. Long hours are expected, with no recognition or reward. Incompetence breads promotion. The company works on a profit sharing perspective where the profitability of your business unit drives the bonuses (if any) of the unit, as such, business units do not work together, in fact, they compete against each other. This place is as backwards as company can be. Through into that they are a disaster in finance and administration. Expense reports are micro managed and frequently mis-placed and/or lost. Continual errors in payrol processing. They cannot produce reports on profitability of clients. It is a wonder that they can figure out a financial report for the stock holders.

Pros

tele-commute option for many positions, casual environment, travel if you want to client sites. There aren't a lot of good things that I can say about my employer. Filling this out reinforces how much I hate my job.

Cons

absurd number of hours expected, work/life balance difficult to maintain, project managers who are generally incomptent with software that is marginal quality. many managers, not many experienced staff and limited product knowledge, poor documentation. The expectation is to work 80+ hours, and it contributes to burn out along with bitterness between staff. It is time to move on toward a different career path with quality products and a better salary where employees are valued.
