West Des Moines, IA

Former Employee – worked at Aviva

ProsThey're growing, and fast, especially in IT. They're hiring a lot of people right now, and I believe with their growth rate, there will be a lot of opportunity to move up as you become more senior over your peers.

ConsThere seems to be some disconnect with senior management, but otherwise managers are helpful, and let you balance your work with your life.

Advice to Senior ManagementOne of the jokes at work was the lack of training. I've never gone into a job where there was almost no training program what-so-ever. Coworkers were helpful, but for a company of this size, I was blown away by the lack of on-boarding.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
