Horrible company

Pros

Can't really think of any.

Cons

Horrible management from the top. Over pay and sell cheap so many different smaller companies that don't align with company lines. Managers don't push back work but only push down to staff. Managers or others don't support staff. Literally worked 1,000 hours overtime each year for 2 years. Last year 2009. Worked in finance accounting.

Pros

Pay is within the normal range for the job and area. Remote work is great and allows for flexibility. Manger is great and doesn’t bother you or micromanage like others. My department has great managers and are very easy to talk to and open to ideas. Team is great to work with.

Cons

Little slow to adopt things and shifts quickly in the middle of a project, but that’s really anything in IT.

Strong Company Financially, but Weak Management

Pros

Quite a few perks, good compensation structure. If you are someone who doesn't want to work on the latest and greatest technology or most up to date frameworks and procedures, then you will do well here.

Cons

Extremely weak management. There is no career path or sense of an Individual Development Plan. You do well here if you are in the "click", basically those that attend all of the Happy Hours, if not, then you can rest assured that you are 100% expendable. The company has learned over the last few years that with poor management means you have weak managers who do not know how to develop their staff. To adapt to this self creation problem, the company has moved into multiple times a year restructuring, which allows them to lay off people instead of working through any process. NOTE: if you are here are going to work here, keep you head down and don't get in the crosshairs of any of the favorites. If you don't know who they are then you certainly are not one of them. The management, and about 60% of the employees are stagnant and do not want change at all. They believe "if it isn't broken, then let's not fix it". Instead, they should be asking "what can we do better and be more efficient in".

Pros

Great benefits and very smart people

Cons

Promotion beyond Sr. Manager is very difficult and there's a country-club like mentality at the higher levels.

Pros

Good salary, and when you are productive and committed to your job, you will find that you are reasonably recognized for this, provided that you do not end up with an incompetent and insecure manager. The other good news is that those managers typically do not last too long. Great customers.

Cons

Management appointed without experience or qualifications. Male sexist attitudes.

Pros

Company has great products and technology. It's pleasure working with smart people. In my team we are always motivated to think outside the box. Analysis is done to the deepest level and technical brainstorming is thorough. Detailed planning is expected from every member of the team. Apart from great learning opportunity, company provides great benefits. Flexible work hours, best work-life balance, on-site 24x7 full fledged gym facility with instructor training, in campus basket ball, tennis courts, great location in Reston.

Cons

Due to cut throat competition among team members, everyone tries to please the supervisor leading to politics and favoritism. Higher management encourages to identify 2 champions per team and feed them with all accolades. This leads to complacency of top 2 and demoralization of other team members. Some managers are very macro managers and don't take critics positively. other cons: Very slow promotion, if you are in good book you will be promoted irrespective of your skills, talent; many deserving good engineers leave due to no promotion.

The team I work with is great and we all work together to get our projects and tasks done. Great manager that's open to talking, but doesn't micromanage like others.

Cons

Horrible benefits. They seem to have decided to save money and went the cheap route with plan administrators.
