Young Go Getters
Pros: Pays well, people are overly friendly, solid client roster of almost every fortune 500, good tech support, work remotely
Cons: where to begin? in all fairness, i really didnt like this job from the get go, but it paid well, and I got to work remotely, but what I didnt like was the preparing tax incentive software descriptions for things that werent even close to software, which was quite confusing for a software based tax incentive. So from the start, I decided I would gove maybe 20% effort of my potential. That coupled with senior management rewarding brown nosers even when they were hurting the business model just didnt make any sense to me, but I chalk that up to almost everyone being young and inexperienced, and quite possibly, over burdened with what any seasoned professional would consider routine. There are very limited office spaces. so if you dont like working from home, it can be frustrating trying to find a desk and having to wait until 9:30 every day to see where you might be sitting. It's very corporate in a political sense; for example, calling all black people African American even if theyre from the Carribean, so that's mildly offensive, mostly because of the self-righteousness that most politically correct expressions stem from and again, everyone is either young or inexperienced, so seasoned professionals who can really perform consistently will most likely get bored and under-challenged as unqualified rookies attempt to tackle tasks best left for professionals. My boss was actually really great, but he put a dim music lover in charge as his proxy, and I pretty much only spoke with him once every quarter, so feedback and other communications were filtered through one of the rookies, which as a perfectionist just really didnt work for me at all. Overall, I'd say great place to start, but no place for experts. Makes me wonder how theyre even successful with so many amateurs in charge of important projects. Oh, and passing the buck and finding scapegoats to blame seems to be how most of the good disappear and the cycle continues.
