Pluspunten
The pay is very good. There is an exercise room and the company fosters a healthy environment (tries to get people to quit smoking, ride bicycles, etc.). Working as an analyst can be an interesting and stable way to use a science or engineering degree or other knowledge. The company does attempt to create a kind of community environment by calling employees, employee-owners and forming lots of committees. It would be positive environment for someone who really wants to be involved socially with their workplace. Many employees live far away from CT and work from their homes and there is a great deal of flexibility with hours allowed.
Minpunten
Those in middle-management give their subordinates a lot of responsibility, but no authority to do a good job. It is a frustrating way to work. People are hired because they possess knowledge and skills which they are then not trusted to use without micromanagement. Often, those who do have authority to make decisions are unable or unwilling to delegate authority to those who have more knowledge or skills related to the question at hand. Many decisions are made quickly and without a great deal of thought. Very basic changes in workforce, management and the general vision of what the company is are made far too often. Two major cycles of layoffs and hiring occurred while I was there within two years.
