Pros

Because they are very flexible with your schedule, if you need time off ((in our department, because this is very dependent on who your manager is), I have never seen it not granted.

Cons

Its...."who you know"....when it comes to promotions, senior management does not really qualify in our department to be "Senior Management". Persons are always on the defensive because upper management does not communicate with the employees and everyone is afraid that their job is going to be outsourced...there have been a few titles already outsourced, but management waits until the last minute to tell the employees that it will affect, and will not tell the truth to the other departments.

Pros

Great benefits. Everyone is friendly and helpful. They do more than just pay lip service to work life balance

Cons

Like any job, the manager is the one that can make or break the position

Pros

Great collaboration between work groups. There used to be room for advancement and diversity in the workplace.

Cons

Lack of job security for several years culminating in a layoff after nearly 3 decades with the firm. Like many places, benefits, raises, and advancement opportunities diminished over time as the firm decided to offshore roles.
