      Pros

      Great benefits, great people to work with, advancement opportunities and knowledge building

      Cons

      Sub par HR presence, favoritism at times and lack of recognition from above the supervisory role. Upper management holds accountabilities on all without being held accountable.

              The benefits are absolutely fantastic. Good work life balance.

              Cons

              - Upper IT management is seemingly promoting micromanagement. Agile transformation is going against everything the agile methodology is about. It is making developers lives harder, and SCRUM masters are now pushing for devs to do more work so they can justify the team numbers to upper management. - Upper IT management seems shield themselves in secrecy. You hear murmurs of reorgs and when you confront middle management about it, they act like they've never heard anything about it. - Fantastic long term employees are leaving or actively searching for new positions in droves. Turnover in the IT dept will be high in the next few months. - Promotions are hard to come by.

                Pros

                Pay is okay, but not for what the train you in. Food in cafe is better now. Many opportunities for the right people.

                Cons

                They are sexist when it comes to moving up and down right racist when it comes to getting an interview internally. There are no safe guards to help support CS against daily verbal abuse. You get quality audits on everything to the point of micromanaging calls. You can have a great call and still be told you did 12 other things wrong. A very unhappy unhealthy work environment that is super stressful. None of upper management seems that they have time to help but when you make one mistake they jump on you. Crappy policy on moving internally. Crap policy on job posting. They say room to grow but it shouldn’t take a rep 5-10 years to do that if she doesn’t have appendage between her legs. Their disciplinary police jacked they can have same situation and treatment will be different.

                  Able to contribute to a better community and economy.

                  Cons

                  Upper management not aligned to a common strategy -- each Exec is working for the betterment of their division; not the company as a whole. Sr. Execs have outdated theories on employee motivation.

                VP of Sales/director of Business Development

                During the first screening interview I have been asked at times about my job search status and if I am talking to others. While this is probably a question they have no right to ask, I wonder if there is a right or wrong answer. If I say I am interviewing with 2-3 companies, they may feel it is not worth the extra effort to continue the discussion. If I say I am not actively interviewing, it may be a negative sign. Any idea about where they are coming from? (WFH & free agent for a while)

                Hello! I have two interviews, one tomorrow & another one on Friday. I'm preparing cause I feel that I'm not very good at them & I hate that. So, I'm researching, taking notes & praying a whole lot lol! Is it okay to refer to notes during an interview? Should I ask interviewer if it's okay? I wanna do my best & feel it'll help some ... a little more confidence I guess!
