SPSS – “Great products, nice people, terrible HR”
Pros
The great product line is very exciting. The people are generally nice, and very committed to their work.
Cons
Flat management structure and poor pay scale. Human Resources refuses to acknowledge that much of the staff is underpaid. By raising the employee cost of benefits, having minimal bonuses and small (3% in a good year) pay increases, I lost money every year working there. Thank God I left before food and fuel started getting craqzy expensive.
Advice to Senior Management
Better career training or tracking, particularly for IT employees. HR is killing SPSS.
