Pros

Vacation and Benefits are decent.

Cons

The entire Executive Management team is completely out of touch with their employees. They have their favorites that can do no wrong, even though most of these "favorites" are absolutely brainless, while productive and highly qualified employees, which management see as a threat, are abused and eventually forced out and/or quit the company. Fellow employees will pretend to be friendly only to throw you under the bus when the moment is right. Snitching is not only prevalent, but is rewarded and encouraged here. Integrity does not exist in this place, so don't bother looking for it.

Pros

Great Benefits. Flexible and generous PTO time. Good industry exposure.

Cons

Promotions are very limited. You can retire in a position. Year end performance reviews are predictable and you know what you are getting as your performance score is based on a group review and only a limited of "Good Scores" are available for distribution, Management does not promote internally. The only way to move up is if someone retires! Lack of young fresh blood. Culture is very stagnant

Pros

There is no real pressure to work hard. Most people take 2 hour lunches, and never work past 5. Performance reviews are consistent (1-5 scale, 5 being the highest -- many peers have been told that no one gets above a 3, regardless of how well they do. There has been no exception that I know of in the time I've worked at PULSE). Basically, if you want a low stress job and have tons of experience, it's probably a good place to work. If you're young and well-educated, I strongly advise you look somewhere else.

Cons

The chances of a meaningful promotion are almost zero -- they almost exclusively hire externally. Education is not valued. Almost everyone working there is over 50 and have taken this job to step down from something more strenuous, therefore they are unlikely to leave until they retire. For young people, this is a dead-zone for growth.
