Good company. Equal opportunity for working mothers

Systems analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good company to work for. Good place to learn, decisions are supported. Support for working mothers/flexible work time. Telecommuting allowed when necessary. Can work evening/weekends from home to make up work schedules. Work looked at objectively for reviews. Reviews are frequent. Development plans are made and employees encouraged to grow. Management can make good (even tough) decision when necessary.

Cons

Outsourcing continuing. Layoffs, cost cutting in progress. Low ratings can be given even to good workers if everyone in the team is doing well as a certain percentage of people must be given low ratings. While development plans can be made, ability to grow in direction wanted by employee is sometimes difficult.

Company is changing for the worse

Business Outlook

Pros

Big company that's not going anywhere. Fair pay and benefits. Good opportunity for advancement provided you are well liked. Work life balance is ok, and depending on your manager, they can be very fair. Can work remotely although that seems to be in jeopardy right now. Location isn't too bad. Some smart people working there and the opportunity for productive teamwork is high (depending on whom you are working with). Most of the people (at a certain level) are good, friendly, caring people that are willing to help.

Cons

Current Senior management basically clueless and care little for the worker bees. Cronyism is running rampant at Met. Worker morale is very low at this point and for good reason. Many jobs are being outsourced and people are scared for their livlihoods.
