Pros
Small company, potential opportunities to learn many different aspects. Benefits are on par if not better than most big corporations. Front line has some really good, honest and passionate people.
Kontras
No life balance. 12 hour days are a typical occurrence. Management does not see an issue with that and of opinion everyone should be working extra hours. Upper management is extremely unprofessional at times. Backstabbing and unprofessional behavior by managers is easy to come by. Everyone likes to dog everyone else thinking their own waste doesn't produce odor. Entire company has a cult-like mentality around their Dynamic Organization mantra "values". Which are just a bunch of common sense items everyone should be doing anyway in their daily professional life. But be careful saying anything of that sort out loud. Feels like you are in Cuba or North Korea at times. Within IS everyone would like to say they breathe and bleed the values but the only time the D.O. values are employed is against someone when complaining to a manager when they simply don't like something instead of using the D.O. framework to work with a colleague on resolving the issues. Employees that have been with the company for a long time think they are the top dog, in reality they would never survive in any other corporation. Business is slow to react to the market changes. Missing items a 5 year old would have foreseen and then pressure IS to deliver in days something that took a competitor months to deliver. No one in IS has any decent conversations with Business towards achieving common goal. IS always ends up jumping through hoops at a moment notice to grant every wish, else things are escalated to the very top. Company is strapped for cash yet lets 3rd party vendors take advantage of it left and right.
