    Cobalt Group Programmer in Seattle, WA:   (Current Employee)

    Pros

    The company offers a very competitive compensation and benefits package. The company is very supportive of a good balance between work and personal life.

    Cons

    The only way you can advance in this company is if you fall into the corporate cult mentality and have an undying loyalty to management. It's almost difficult to accomplish anything useful and noteworthy for your personal career because of constantly changing business priorities caused by over commitment to customers by sales and business development. Since GM is one of their biggest customers and make up about 50% of their revenue expect to see more layoffs, hiring freezes, and job cuts in the next year.

    Advice to Senior Management

    There's too many layers of management in this company and you could do better and save more money by cutting down these added layers and use the money you save to hire talented people so that employees aren't over-worked. Take a better look at what each member of the management team does and ask yourselves whether they are actually adding value or if their presence just adds stress.
