Struggles with Being a Technology Company - Specialist Software Engineering Transamerica Employee Review

Pros

Great co-workers (although most have been laid off or moved on), not bad benefits. Wants to make use of the latest technologies.

Cons

The senior leadership team is struggling to make a decision regarding whether to offshore or onshore all software development. While their preference is to offshore, past attempts have consistently failed, leading to a return to onshore development. However, due to inability to set expectations and be a real technology company, they eventually revert back to offshoring.

Pros

great account management team. Great bosses. pension. decent benefits. managers allow flexibility.

Cons

the account managers are the only ones held accountable. other departments don't answer emails for weeks, don't do their jobs and no one in upper management cares. directly effects account managers so you get yelled at by clients and brokers a lot. don't get paid enough to do the job of the account manager and take on the other departments work.
