Pros

Very, very high salaries. Pay is easily 10-15% more than industry average.

Good company culture, lots of friendly people, management is positive.

Cons

Repetitive work, low feeling that your contribution matters, extremely bureaucratic corporate structure.

Advice to Management

Stop outsourcing jobs. It should be clear by this point that "partners", "contractors", and outsourcing companies turn out a terrible product that direct hires have to spend an excessive amount of work to fix.

Stop making job roles so narrowly defined; it makes it impossible to "innovate". Yes, I used that word.

Overall happy with the company, although I did leave. Grandfather was a 20-year veteran of the firm.
