      Better like to kiss up to succeed here

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Offers remote work and some flexibility

      Cons

      - Favoritism/nepotism run rampant here. If you can't find a champion to help you succeed you won't. It will become clear to you pretty quickly who decides which people will succeed based on their personal preference. - Due to favoritism, a strong sense of watching your back is recommended! Co-workers will wait for you to misstep to snitch you out. Definitely not a team environment, every man for himself at all costs. Identify the favorites by how long they have stayed with the company. - HR is a joke (run by a favorite who is ineffective at their job). If you have a complaint about management, it will go into a black hole, never to be heard about again. Issues from the top down, of course, are handled expeditiously and viciously. - They use the annual review process to justify extremely low merit increases and will tell you to rate yourself as average. If you aren't a favorite, expect a very small annual merit increase year to year - Do not expect any opportunities for real advancement, unless of course you have a key-player champion to push you forward - Don't complain or bring any problems to light if you choose to work here it will be the nail in your coffin - Conclusion: this is a smaller company trying to be a big company without shaking some real bad habits. Authenticity, fairness and trust are truly lacking. Company culture is lacking and can't grow due to toxic work environments. Keep your head down and work, don't complain, don't ask for anything and do your best to get some key players to like you personally and this could be a great fit for you.

      Low opportunities for Growth

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Okay Benefits, Just updated to have paid family leave. - Some Friendly Coworkers - Flexible work environment

      Cons

      (I personally believe most of this is specific to our business unit) - Entitled Middle management (this is a select few employees, not all) - act like they always know better and talk down to lower employees. Will tell you off for something minor, and if you do the same to them, they just say - talk to my manager about it (but they don't do that for you). - Senior Management has a habit of micromanaging, also shifting blame to people who technically shouldn't be held responsible (i.e. if you aren't the program manager & someone doesn't know something - it's not your fault). They also don't have a lot of respect for your time - COVID was not beneficial for meetings that involved two of the remaining senior management staff. Consistently took more time, and were only cut short if they had something else going on. Meetings were also rather pointless and didn't always necessarily need to happen. - Poor communication - Can't send an email to senior management without having to follow up with a call/text/message to check if they had a chance to review it. I understand people are busy, but figure out a system where things aren't getting lost... - There is an expectation that you work long hours, some even on the weekends. Even if you do this, you're not recognized or rewarded, but if you don't do it, you're not given new opportunities. - No boundaries or personal time. Will get calls on the weekend, early morning (before 7) and evenings for things that can easily be addressed the next work day. - Lots of favoritism towards certain employees -Nepotism -Low pay - lots of turnover - If you make one small mistake - senior and some middle management write you off and you have to work extremely hard to get back in their good graces

      Great people - sometimes difficult customers

      Business outlook

      Pros

      -Wonderful office culture -Small company feel with large company clients -Extremely talented team that works well together -Flexible work environment, balancing working from home as well as what days you work. So long as you get 40 hrs in, you can sometimes work four 10s or pull weekend days as well.

      Cons

      -Depending on your job function, 90% of day-to-day activity can be the same rinse-and-repeat work -Lack of flexibility of upstream customers for certain projects --> Certain clients who contract us to perform work are not interested in how things could be done better. -Lack of clear professional development progression/plan; employees can be felt like they -Programs sometimes feel perpetually behind. Putting out fires is always a priority so that teams never truly can focus on improving for the NEXT year.
