Pros

The company is fast growing and has a foothold in the marketplace. There is potential for inside advancement. The organization has been eager to make process improvements on a regular basis.

Cons

With many major changes being made the company culture is evolving and 70% of the workforce has been moved off-shore following domestic reductions in force. Work life balance can leave something to be desired. Bonuses have not always been paid out as promised.

Pros

Work from home and decent pay.... that's about it.

Cons

Misguided employees in a sink-or-swim environment where everyone is out for themselves. Project managers running the show with zero technical skills. Management is nowhere to be seen until the alarms start going off. Extremely reactive environment that takes weeks to get multiple departments on the same page for simple tasks. Angry customers who lose communication throughout the project, implementing an extremely high number of last-minute changes only days before going live, causing 24/7 work for all involved. Zero training, zero employee feedback, bonuses based on goals you can copy-and-paste each month (nobody would notice). Dell merger taking away common reimbursements promised in original job offer. If there is career advancement to be had with this company, I did not see it. Had to leave to get back on the ever-changing IT path before being completely burnt out doing things that made me dumber on a daily basis. If this is the future of IT (cloud) then maybe I need a career change.

Pros

The company is a leader in a high growth area (cloud), with a focus on bringing Enterprise applications (such as SAP) to the cloud. It's a mix of very smart infrastructure engineers, software developers, and business / tech savvy leadership. The rapid growth opens up new opportunities to grow and take on new challenges. Results are rewarded. Everyone works hard and brings deep expertise.

Cons

Start-up culture. Not a lot of structured roles -- have to be willing to adapt to the high priority needs, driven by customer demand. This is great for some , but not for everyone. Folks that come from a large company culture have trouble adapting. Even management roles have hands-on work ... Can't be afraid to dig in and get your hand dirty.
