Pros

Very nice new office. Professional and competent coworkers.

Cons

There is only one layer of management present at this location. All other management is remote and clueless to the day to day operations here. Management is willing to cut corners to make schedule obligations at the customer’s expense. This is compounded by a complete lack of any adherence to a software development process and leads to a focus on fighting fires. Employees are disengaged, un-empowered and generally feel unvalued. There is no training programs, limited opportunities for advancement, tasks are dictated, and there are no bonus or other incentive programs, all the while management micromanages everything due to their distrust of the employees. Overall, the employees are underpaid based on current market values and because management is negligent on providing timely performance reviews the employees are left with no other recourse than to seek employment elsewhere. The attrition rate is on the rise. Poor performers are not being held accountable and no one seems to have any authority to make changes.

Pros

Unlimited paid time off yearly.

Cons

Site leader at the Erie site. Indecisiveness by upper management. Unrealistic expectations. No repercussions for bad employees. Good employees get abused, verbally and by being given excessive workload. Salary teams are short staffed and site leader won’t allow new hires. The union - no explanation needed.
