Advice to Senior Management

- could use some more HR programs involving employees and connecting employees with other groups than they work with daily

Pros

Well run company, very aggressive management. Leaders are competent and see the big picture. Compensation and benefits package are pretty competitive.

Cons

Numbers focused senior management. Individual employee interests are not a high priority, and relatively little flexibility is provided in terms of work hours or location.

Pros

Solid compensation package
High degree of trust to analysts/managers
Accessibility of top management

Cons

Long hours
Too much politics at directors -VP level
Bi-lateral moves are discouraged

Advice to Senior Management

Bi-lateral moves promote interdepartmental knowledge sharing. Don't let you VP/Directors stop people from being promoted outside of their business areas

Pros

The company and employees are excellent! Would highly recommend as a place to work.

Cons

Company frowns upon working from home which hard at times.

Advice to Senior Management

A little more lax approach for working arrangements would be appreciated.

Pros

The work environment is fast paced, and it has an entrepeneurial feel. At the same time, they recognize the value of training, so during down periods it isn't frowned upon to hit the books at the office.

Cons

The work load is unevenly spread. There is a bit of a hero culture and that means that processes aren't all in place and policies aren't evenly enforced. Not surprising considering the pace of the environment, but there are unrestrained IT "cowboys" in the system.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep up the good work; everyone trusts the leadership of this company to do the right thing. That said, insist on process.
