Pros

- Smart colleagues - Generally well-respected in the industry - Offices around the world - CEO and leadership team

Cons

- Mafia-like mentality within the individual companies. No one likes to work together, too much gossip (especially by management) - Middle management is absolutely awful. No accountability. No training. No one cares how they treat employees. - Does not care about the advancement of younger employees. I am not sure why, because there are many smart younger people working here. - No communication between groups. - Sends employees to other countries to live and work and then does not renew their certificate to have said employee work there. This makes it so the employee is there illegally. Then, they fire the employee without cause; the same one they sent to live in another country, due to a company error. - Worst HR team you could imagine. Almost comical. I do not see IHSM lasting more than 7 years with the type of management they have here. It simply is not possible.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
