Pros

Co workers, PTO and Work from home

Cons

After working there for almost 3 years I come to the conclusion that this company is in a tail spin from a CTO that lives in a dream world and has basically destroyed what was once a good work environment. Has done nothing but tear this good and knowledgeable IT group apart with his force-feed method of Exponential Organization mindset. Ridiculous expectations of making you take courses online on your off hours (required) within X amount of time as you post on a share drive your progress!! Very threatening if you do not do this and you have to do it on weekends or off time to get it done. This person obviously has no life to speak of and he expects all the IT workers to not have one as well. His lower level cronies who were brought in by him to change the way things are done are doing it ALL at one time and putting a lot of pressure on the employees!! Quite the dog and pony show when the CTO has his town hall meetings. Most walk out of there not knowing anymore then when they walked in besides the fact of repeating the same stuff from the previous town hall. All as he laughs at his own jokes, brags about how great he is to the staff and how he changes things in a positive way!!! It is a shame that a place that before him I enjoyed working at could change this quickly all from one person coming in and totally blowing it all up. The general mood and moral was at a very low point when I left there and I haven't heard much good recently. Most of the good people are leaving

Pros

I worked within a team the provided work/life balance. I felt needed and valued and contributed to the mission of my team.

Cons

The company is going being acquired by a small investment group. There has been layoffs which I feel the acquisition is reason to the reduction in work force. I feel more benefits could be offered under the insurance policy such as gym memberships. Or we can receive some form offset for gym memberships and annual physicals.

Pros

They provde generous time off

Cons

Pay was low and work load was unrealistic. I was there over 2 years before they were willing to hire. I was doing the work of 3 ppl. For a Healthcare company their medical benefits were poor.
