Good pay, benefits and intellectually challenging work environment

Expected to work 60 hour work week (qualifies as average). No career development or leadership program, best way to move up is to network.

Pros

- Great training - Good use of terminal (for free!) - Good work/life balance - Good benefits - Decent compensation

Cons

- Poor upper management (really poor) - Immature work environment, lots of "contests", breeds children, not adults - Above results in no pride in job, and thus very low morale (counterproductive, backfires) - Quality of hires is very low to prevent "flight-cases" (word used by management) - Management evaluates not relative to peers, but relative to your own past performance (makes no sense: if you are better than your peers, but you are not as good as you were last year, your compensation will be impacted negatively) - No room for growth within department, lots of red tape to get promoted - Tendency to hire externally for jobs that would be better done by internal employees (ie, product managers are all external hires, but that leads to very one-dimensional product enhancements that only serve what that person wanted in their past role, they do this instead of letting sales/analytics into the role despite the interaction those departments have with clients of a broad spectrum on a daily basis) - Another reviewer put this best: There are a lot of parasites that have been grandfathered in. They have been in the company during it's largest growth periods and have very minor skillsets. They just rotate every 2 years into high paying fluff roles that don't add much value. For example, we have a "training content management team" that consists of 10+ year veterans. All they do is book rooms for trainings and schedule them. There are at least 4 per region. - Inefficient use of funds: We splurge on very odd things such as people walking around on the 6th floor with trays to hand out snacks (essentially servants). We also book all of our re This was a bit detailed.
