Pros

Excelent benefits, 401k, health insurance, performance bonuses (cash and others), great parties each year. You get exposure in so many different businesses where you can specialize.

Cons

Long working hours (something really normal in Puerto Rico), be ready to work at least 10 to 12 hours on a daily basis and 16 on peak times. You are required to charge at least 8 hours daily to clients (could be combined between clients) but you don't always have billable time.

Pros

Pay is competitive. Nice people. Pleasant. Corporate bonding activities. I thought it cliquish, but they try with bonding activities.

Cons

The focus on driving the bottom line is a detriment to clients. Clients are getting used by inexperienced personnel learning on their dime. Non-technical executive management lacks skill set for building solid IT company.

No work life balance at all. Expect to work 50-70 hours a week.

Business Outlook

Pros

Lots of little perks like free soda and beer on Fridays. Have a lot of outings in the past but most are on weekends and why would you want to spend even more time with the people you work with?

Cons

Middle management is trying to make a name for themselves on the backs of the lower employees and have zero respect for people. There are many people considering leaving as this all started with the promotion of one person. Too bad as this used to be a great place to work, now certain managers seem to have become greedy at the cost of the culture that built the company.
