Pros

Full kitchen was offered in my facility. Bathrooms were always kept clean. Most of my coworkers are sweet and compassionate.

Cons

Management takes absolute no ownership of team performance and always passes the buck downhill. There is no support from upper management while working in a subordinate role. Work loads are often the amount of two people, while little to no time to complete tasks is offered. Management often fails to document requirements and creates moving targets that subordinates can never achieve. Company stresses quality, but does not work to correct mistakes until customer is left upset and unsatisfied by work created.

Pros

Working remotely. Benefits. Compensation package.

Cons

IT department is not well educated and each employee handles requests differently. One IT person may take 5 minutes to reset a password, another may take up to an hour. When software is updated, they do not have any written instructions and fumble through the requests until they figure it out.

Pros

Bagels on Fridays, very good coffee machine

Cons

Management don't care about their employees. Management asked us to work nights , holidays and weekends, management did not tell us when is our last, he asked me to work on a weekend before they laid me off. Contacted HR multiple time never gotten a straight up answer. I want to see her in person but security did not allowed me there. I was only one person who worked the longest on that project and only 2 people including me were laid off. There is corruption all over the place in QSSI instead of firing people they move them from one project to another (They know PMs and Leads there), but for me they did intensive interview process and said i wasn't selected. I spend fours years in this company i took time from my family just to finish the work i was assign for and they treated me like i am unnecessary thing. Very disappoint. If you ever get a job offer from this company stay away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
