Pros

The only good points I could find was the cab facility and the fact that there were a few good innovative people. That number is dwindling slowly

Cons

The office culture is highly demotivating and un-innovative. The HR is usually from a non-technical background so it's extremely frustrating to have to deal with them. There's lots of politics, flimsy management and overly strict HR. Do not work here!!

Pros

-Trustworthy immediate colleagues -Good work/life balance and flexibility

Cons

-Little career pathing within company. Organization is extremely siloed, and cheap as they simply aren't interested in paying for small things to advance one's career like local industry conferences and events such as team holiday dinners that would have minimal impact on the company's bottom line. -Pay not aligned with skills or talent marketplace -One would think a benefits/career consultant would have decent pay and benefits. This is not the case
