Moves at the speed of a Caterpillar

Pros

This is a review of the Administration jobs. Pay is ok. People are nice but most are over 50 and not particularly progressive in ideas or change.

Cons

Tools are decades old, methods old, slow to change, old software. Again...review of G+A functions. You show up, you work, you go home. not an inspiring place to work, but not a terrible place either.

Be careful here...comply, don't question authority!

Pros

To learn the inside view on the very hot data and analytics industry.

Cons

People are chess pieces to be moved around. If you are vocal and question leadership, you are pegged as a problem (have seen it happen to so many people). Management consistently has a 'we know something you don't know' practice, which breeds a rumor mill that is out of control...and then big changes are exploded on the company from Director down with no notice. It's just how things are done, so people are always waiting for the next shoe to drop. Which tends to be bad for those who haven't been brow-beaten into submission. Large layoffs common, like many big companies. There are some wonderful people here, but just be very careful and compliant before coming to this company. Also, huge double standards from executive LT to rank and staff. (Example: the CEO says he doesn't believe in a virtual model and wants everyone in the office...but he lives in Utah and works remotely from there. There are many examples--travel budgets cut for everyone else, but in same breath LT announces European tour for themselves.) Promotions and advancement from within are very rare.

Stay away

Pros

Used to be a very good. There are still a few good, smart people around.

Cons

If you care about your career stay away. Only work for them if no other options. Learn as much as you can while collecting a paycheck and leave as soon as you can. There are RIF’s all the time.
