Vantaggi

- Benefits: Pension is decent, 6% employee contribution for max 7% employer contribution. EAP. Health Insurance at LR8+. - Workload. - Lots of smart and skilled people here to learn from. - Occasional customer site visits are interesting.

Svantaggi

- Rocky onboarding. I was made to feel that I couldn’t ask simpler questions. - Recently asked all employees to Return to Office 3 days a week and have severely restricted flexible working potential. - Huge disparities in pay. For the majority of people, the salary is atrocious and not at all competitive. Annual pay reviews are terrible. - Siloed working. - Expected to go above and beyond your grade for long while to even get a chance of being promoted. - Management are hostile in tone and language, and you’re expected to just stomach it. It can get toxic here. Employees are encouraged to raise issues but they are always ignored. - Work can be boring. - Work environments are unsuitable and don’t have enough space or desks. Either too hot or too cold. - Rather than give software tasks a complexity value, you must track every hour spent on tasks and log work, with estimates based on how long it will take. If you don’t log most of your contracted hours management will get “pissed off” and you are labelled as ignorant for pushing back; yet there isn’t even a place to log things like project-specific training. - Expect to have no involvement with public clouds. - HR sometimes doesn’t answer questions. - Lots of lip service, but little actual attention is paid to supporting those with disabilities.

Vantaggi

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* None. Used to be a great place to work. I enjoyed the work I did and the various teams I worked with.

Svantaggi

*This only applies to the Montgomeryville location* -Health benefits have gotten worse each year. -Constant layoffs. -Changed from an 8 hour 3 shift day, 5 days a week to a 10 hour 2 shift day, 4 days out of the week. The idea was to save money on overtime, then they started asking the employees to stay the 4 hours between shifts. Then they started asking the employees to work the extra 3 days. Then they made the employees sign a waiver, making the 3 days mandatory when needed. -Flat raises, everyone gets the same raise. -Lower management no longer cares -Upper management is too focused on vanity projects or no longer cares
