Pros

-Pay is good for Albany area -Benefits -401k match -Free parking and electric vehicle charging stations -Nice facility and no more pot holes on the entry road -Smart and knowledgeable staff but not all will do knowledge transfer -New CEO is personable and actually talks to grunts and walks around the building on occasion -HR no longer used as an instrument of destruction against employees. Unknown if that will continue. -If you play dumb and brown nose, you can advance quickly -gym on site -cafe on site. Food is okay - guards are friendly -staff who leave the company usually remain in industry and make bank

Cons

-Mismanaged company. Staff treated with contempt and insulted on a daily basis. Staff who have been at it since day one are treated slightly better. Staff less than 10 years of service are kept at arms length and innovative solutions to existing processes never see daylight. They preach about competition but don't reward hard working employees. Some employees don't seem to have any work to do while others are slogging in 14 hours. Work not shared equally -Silos everywhere. A culture and environment that discourages collaboration. If you go around your superior to bring an important issue to your VPs attention, or alert another department to an issue, or if you try to solve a problem on your own, it will be used against you in your review -Top heavy. VP bonuses more important than the fate of mankind. Senior management absurd salaries will make you depressed when you don't get a raise -Fathers, don't let your daughters work here because harassment happens and employees have no faith in the process to report that stuff
