Vantaggi

Nice campus, good benefits, work-life balance

Svantaggi

I can't stress enough how detrimental Data Analysis is for someone's career at ETS. For a college graduate, it may be good for about a year or two, take advantage of SAS courses they may offer, and get out. Do not stay there for longer than that, because there is nowhere to go. They recruit intelligent college graduates since their starting pay is pretty competitive. However, once you are there for a couple of years, you begin to see that there isn't room for growth. The salary becomes stagnant, and there is a ceiling. Management is completely disorganized. They have a quota as to how many employees can be at certain levels, and there is no rhyme or reason as to who they would promote. Basically if your manager is buddies with you, they may choose to try and push you to next level. Politics at it's finest. Even if you are promoted, the salary increase is a complete joke. This line is so job specific that you really don't obtain skills transferable to outside of that realm. If you are there, learn SAS programming and get out. If you are interested in working your way up within a company and obtaining skills that translate, this is not the place for you.

Vantaggi

Support of immediate management and coworkers makes coming to work every day a pleasure.

Svantaggi

Where to start... First, the employee performance evaluation process and methodology has changed from 1) performance vs your job description to 2) OKRs which were completely unattainable and meaningless at every level to 3) rocks and outcomes which again have very little to do with the day to day jobs of most employees. It seems the burden for goals and objectives and performance management has shifted from management to employees as they try to define a methodology that holds only doers responsible for the company's success. All this since Amit Sevak took over. Management manipulated the questions in a recent employee survey to force responses that made it look like there was improvement year over year. Of course, when you add a new President between the employees and the CEO peoples opinion of senior management is improved. Of course when you shift the focus to immediate management from senior management, the responses will be improved. Try issuing the exact same survey as the prior year and see how much "real" improvement there was in the numbers.
