Pros
-- Pretty good salaries, although the sheer magnitude of H1B visa workers keep salaries way down for everyone in IT. -- The company does a very good job of monitoring and addressing sexual harassment in the workplace; women don't have to endure that kind of crap at EHI. -- I worked with some of the smartest and greatest people of my entire career at EHI (although maybe only one or two of them were in management).
Cons
-- EHI frequently hires H1B visa workers (mostly Indians) even when highly qualified U.S. citizens are available. -- The Lakeside facility features what is probably one of the worst working environments ever designed. It is truly abysmal. -- A college degree is required, but I have been told the CIO doesn't have one. -- Extremely long hours resulting in massive amounts of overtime, frequently taking place late at night and/or on weekends, are a common requirement in IT. You get very little comp time in return, as well as very little appreciation from management. With luck you might get an email that says, "Good job!". Wow. So I worked 300 hours of overtime over the course of the last three months and all I got in return was an email and maybe a couple of days off? Yeah, that really drives loyalty, doesn't it? -- IT workers at the corporate facility in Clayton still have to wear business formal, which is beyond ridiculous in this day and age. Fortunately, those at other facilities can dress down. -- Reorgs take place so often that it is not uncommon to average two or more bosses per year. And of course every reorg is advertised as the best reorg ever. If that was true then another reorg in a few months would not be necessary, would it? -- There are absolutely no retiree benefits. Not even a nickle off per day on a rental. -- As is unfortunately the case in so many organizations, there are many managers that seriously need to be fired, but manage to stay on because they are friends with their bosses.
