Information Builders Director in New York, NY:   (Current Employee)

Pros

Benefits, health insurance package and location

Cons

Company has been downsizing and very little advancement possible. No salary increases for over 5 years. If your looking to work for a company with long term growth this is not the place to be. The entire staff is worried about losing their jobs, rumours and buyouts. Company tried to sell years ago.
Depending on who you work for, it can be a miserable experience. My director rarely was in the office and major discrimination prevailed. The worst working environment I've even seen. Promotions and increases in salary (rarely) were rarely based on productivity.

Advice to Senior Management

Start looking at productivity of directors and employees in managment positions, their responsibilities and work hours. Many key people are rarely at work and have no clue what their employers are doing and don't seem to care unless a problem becomes apparent.
Many are completely unaware of what is going on. I have rarely even spoken with my immediate supervisor except when receiving my annual review. My director was so lazy she just would hand me my review with no oral feedback at all. Incredable!! No incentives or reason to even perform in an acceptable manner. Incentives (the few given)were to all the wrong people . I swear my immediate supervisor must take over 200 days off each year and left early the other days she did show up for work. Discrimination galore, many employees (over 10 during my employment) left specifically from the company because of this. Its disgarceful for a company this size to operate this inefficiently and subjectively!
