Pros

Most people and the culture is laid back. Great sense of community at the broader company level.

Cons

Manager was an extreme micro manager, every single day. Training was horrible. Cultural and linguistic barrier made it impossible to connect with the manager. Expectation was to be “an individual thinker” but when trying to innovate with Python etc. received major pushback. Was a brand new analyst and was expected to perform and be as knowledgeable as the senior analysts. Pay was bad too. I literally left to another firm immediately making twice what I was making at CPS. Holiday bonus was a $100 gift card to HEB. No 401K match when I was there.

Pros

Decent Government style benefits, on site cafeteria, volunteer events

Cons

I hate to say it, but the organization is going downhill. Employee morale is low in many departments. Working from home opportunities are becoming rare pushing talent elsewhere. Benefits are getting worse by the year. Leaders are micromanaging and the pressure is starting from the top. This is the first time I’ve considered leaving the organization since I’ve been here about few years. I really thought I wanted to retire here, but they are no longer investing in employee well being. They are simply worried about how the view is.
