Business Outlook

Pros

Very steady flow of challenging, customer-driven work. You're constantly given new things to work on that inspire you to find creative ways to solve the problems put to you. Also, being privately held seems to make for greater job security.

Cons

Work/life balance is't so good. Culture has many holdovers from the finance industry, making for a very non-touchy-feely environment...doesn't feel like a traditional technology culture.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free meals, good training programs, cheerful environment, nice benefit, no policy of 'lay-off' -as long as you do your work and obey to your manager, you can work until you retire.

Cons

-no career progress, repetitive work across the company, it's called 'flag organization'. there is no promotion so there's no big salary increase. -managers treat employees like children. everything is monitored. -performance is measured by 'metrics' system' with error rate% etc--->used at reviews to discourage people -long hours without OT -it seems many jobs moving to China, India
