Pros

Costa on site, best conversation. Good place to get training on how to be two-faced.

Cons

You can be intelligent and efficient - but not too much. You're colleagues and managers are all about self preservation. If they say 1+1 = 5 ...then just say "5" ...keep the peace. But if you have an ounce of self-respect you'd tell them straight. Local Staff have college diplomas at best, whilst the off-shore guys have MBAs and tech certificates. Treated as 2nd class citizens. Are we back to Victorian times ?

Pros

Benefits as a whole are good The 401K match is excellent There is a cafeteria and a Fitness Center at the current location Positive, friendly culture

Cons

Several jobs have been outsourced to India, Slovakia and Mexico over the last few years Several of the people let go were long-time, loyal employees who were in their 50's The office in Overland Park will relocate sometime in 2018 Rumor has it that the OP office is moving to downtown KC, where very few employees actually want to go We will most likely be losing the cafeteria and Fitness Center Senior Management encourages employees to view their career as latticework (horizontal moves) but in reality it's very difficult to move to a different department Upper management has a very Euro-centric view and is unopen to suggestions from US counterparts
