Unforgettable work experience

Pros

Enjoy reading hundreds of emails Good health benefits Learn how to handle stress with long hours If you have good reading and writing skills then it is more helpful than technical skill

Cons

When I joined the company, I thought this is great company to build my career and learn new technology. But I ended up with completely different experience The company is out sourcing most of the development work to offshore, so there is less opportunity to learn. The core business is credit bureau but reasonable part of production support is also outsourced. Management is only concentrated what you don't do or can't do and never appreciates your hard work or long hours. You have higher chances of survival rate if you know how to worship management all the time. The company has human recycling program to layoff after two to three years. Old folks keep the control and new employee is hired per project basis. If you get bad review after first year of job then you should know what is coming. Man agent is busy finding your mistakes, demoralizing you during the review process. If you like to read hundreds of emails and work on less technical stuff then this is best place for you Management has no technical skills and the culture of the company is "asking question is smart thing" but no one thinks that why a director is asking questions after 15 to 20 years of experience in the same e company to new employee. So, there is nothing to learn but teach all the time.

Misdirected, Misaligned and Disconnected

Pros

The people (those that are still left after the layoffs) are excellent. Very skilled, hard working. They keep this place running as well as it can with a workforce that has been whittled down to be leaner than lean. Also, the benefits are very good.

Cons

Upper management and executives are disjoint. They have outsourced many of the skilled positions to the point that English is almost the 2nd language. If you are not in the club, tough luck. It is a finger pointing, fear driven environment that is getting worse due to the diluting of the talent base.

Was good, but no longer

Pros

Pay was great as I knew the right people but they all left now.

Cons

The new management doesn't understand the business and how critical relationships and talent are. I was there for almost 8 years and never experienced so much bureaucracy and red tape than there was in the last year. If Goldman and Advent had values and Mr. Peck was gone it would be a great company again. Since they took over the company has never been profitable.
