Pros
Contracts with our suppliers and customers have been renegotiated over the past several years. The resulting contracts have created a great potential for expansion and a need for analytic and software staff. Limited work from home is sometimes available. Good vacation benefits. Decent year-end bonus in recent years.
Kontras
As is many corporations, managers are wooed and hired while the production level gets overloaded and offshored. Project schedules are set optimistically to meet contract needs, but staff is not added to produce. Significant free overtime is expected and commonplace. Salaries at hire are good, but promotion below management level is designed to be difficult and pay raises almost non-existent. A significant number of employees "boomerang" out to other companies then come back. Project management is very weak and in fear of reporting any problems to management.
