Too Large to succeed

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

For recent college grads it would be easy to join the company. But after working a couple of years it would be benefical to find other employment as you're time and skill set would be not of value to them.

Cons

There are too many managers over you. Don't look for any reward for working extra you would not see any benefits. Most of the jobs are being duplicated in other low cost country to produce the same work. Company is too large on an international scale.

Business Outlook

Pros

Really enjoyed working on the national network for the carrier. Would have stayed if I could have worked remotely every other week or even once a month. Felt really good about the job we did. We made things happen in very tough circumstances. Benefits were better than the average US company.

Cons

- Worked a position that became 100% travel and 100% nights. Not the original position I took. Management never lets up on their people. Gone for two weeks on the road. Home for 48 hours then back on the road again. 365 days a year. If you don't like that. Don't take a travel position with ERIC.. - New grad hire working there after 5 years, still making below 50k per year with the responsibility of working on a National Carrier's core network. That was pretty sad. Those new grads (now seasoned veterans) were SHARP! - Felt like a high tech indentured servant. - HR department doesn't have a clue, or care, of how hard and long these guys work..HR goes home every afternoon and doesn't have a clue that people are working days and nights (regularly) while on the road. Hey HR, do you notice that the Integration team is quitting?
