Pros

-Fast interview timeline -VPs and up seemed somewhat competent but sadness filled their eyes.

Cons

I backed out of this role due to their unprofessional and abhorrent on-boarding process. From the very beginning I had a bad feeling about this place and my research on the firm turned out to be true; They don't care about you and pay laughable wages. I can almost forget about that, capitalism and all, but what really rubbed me the wrong way was the failure of basic on-boarding procedures.. When should I show up? Dress code? Surprise 1 month of 10-12 hr shifts due to training with india team? No mention at all in the weeks and days leading up to my start date. Simple things that have been a breeze in past organizations showed me that this organization is either a dinosaur past its prime or is just inept.

Pros

Great benefit packages, PTO, most positions get bonuses

Cons

Company has shipped the majority of positions to lower cost locations. There is little career growth opportunities, as they got rid of inline promotions, and because of the off shoring of positions, the US career mrkt. is not is stagnant. Plus there are monthly layoffs, disguised as restructuring. Bonuses have been on a steady decline over the past 10 years and merit increases have been all but impossible to obtain, as they set the threshold at less than 5% of the company can get them. Due to staffing reductions before adequate plans for the work are made, almost every dept is grossly understaffed and over worked. So the work life balance is non existent. This company thrives on being reactive instead of proactive, leaving staff to be in constant fire drill mode.
