Ventajas
Performance Software has the mantra that people are first, then the work, then revenue will follow. They surprise me with how diligent they are at holding to that philosophy. Each employee is assigned a team manager who is independent of the project they are working on. This TM has the job of helping the employee with their career. They provide the ability to push back on project management if it becomes needed. They actively seek to hear the opinions of the employees and acknowledge their faults and seek to correct them. All companies have their problems but this one is open to them and seeks to correct them. The retirement benefits are the stuff out of stories. I consider it a huge benefit.
Desventajas
