"I worked here for 7 years. The technology we used was very obsolete. We used Windows XP into 2014, and Visual Studio 2008 is still being used. The facilities are depressingly ugly. The place was built in 1906, and no attempt has been made to bring it up to 1990s standards. There are no elevators, so if you need a wheelchair, you can't get to half the offices. Raises were poor for everyone. Young people would get some time on their resumes, then leave."

"I would rather not work for this company. Management does not recognize my talents and do not support employee welfare or relationship very well. On several occasions, I have been offended and even embarrassed in front of my peers and other managers. I do not recommend working for this company at present location."
