Confusing...

Senior director - compliance

Business Outlook

Pros

-Pay and benefits are good and probably on par or above similar organizations -Smart staff. Co-workers are very intelligent, hard-working people -Company is doing relatively well in a tough environment

Cons

-Sr. Executives and Management leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to people mgmt -Compliance's support of the organization is driven by organizational changes, no fore-thought put into how Compliance should be used to support a growing, geographically diverse organization -HR is becoming more vague and secretive regarding pay and benefits.

Good place to learn

Business Outlook

Pros

very talented smart and dedicated co-workers. From a number crunching culture, second to none

Cons

Negotiate harder than you think you need to because you will stay at the same level for some time. Reliance on analytics can stifle new ideas.

Completely uninspired - and expecting to be replaced any day

systems engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are good and some perks such as working remotely (if you work for the right manager) help maintain work life balance. You'll work with many smart people who you'll learn from; most everyone is amicable and interested in getting things accomplished.

Cons

Tremendous lack of communication from management regarding direction of company. Very political - if you aren't good at promoting yourself and getting the right notice during meetings you will go nowhere. Doing your job well is not enough to get promoted nor is it rewarded. Understand in advance that your job is not secure. If you are promoted during the year, expect to get a poor review when you are first evaluated at that new level.
