Pros

Employees and coworkers are great, company culture outside of finance department is great.

Cons

Poor management. If you come to work in finance - be ware. The management is not involved with the day to day and only care about the big picture. If a problem escalates, they look to the employee to blame. This is not a place or environment you want to come to work long term. The department has lost 5 employees in a span of 3 months because they can no longer take the treatment from management. There have been so many complaints to the HR department and nothing changes - so I do not see this getting any better in the near future. Would not recommend coming to finance.

Pros

Lots of fun (depending on your department). Great people. Busy as heck.

Cons

Busy as heck. Not enough resources. Too much focus on cost reduction as opposed to quality.
