Pros

- day-to-day work is interesting - (some) bright colleagues (most have left or were laid off in lieu of lower-cost labor in mexico and india) - easy to clock in / clock out / get a paycheck

Cons

- no career opportunity - compensation & ratings not tied to performance - pay is below market - leadership does not understand the product nor our clients pain points - constantly being asked to do more with less - offshoring / layoffs (if i had to guess probably >15-20% of the company has been offshored or cut following the veritas acquisition) - morale has tanked; no longer excited to go to work - standards for hiring have dropped - underinvestment in products that actually drive value for clients

Pros

Appreciated working with smart, driven colleagues; they were truly experts in their fields. The rigorous schedules we were on were strictly maintained, which usually made for a very organized structure and workload.

Cons

Leadership went through many changes and acquisitions while I was there. The mission seemed to keep changing, and it wasn't easy to maintain consistency in our reports with such leadership changes. Market analysts were often pulled onto consulting projects but were not paid as consultants. This is what pushed me to leave.
