Pros

Bagel Fridays, Free Coffee, Tea

Cons

I had been with this company for ten years. I started as an intern. I have seen this company thrive and I have seen this company fall in the hands of new upper management. In the past year, I have seen a man fired days before brain surgery to remove a tumor. I have seen management walk around to random cubicles and tell people to pack up their desks and leave in front of the entire office--without being pulled into a private room. I have seen attempts to rebuild morale in the form of bagel Fridays. (However, I suspect this may be a tactic to distract from the aforementioned Random Fire Fridays where management randomly walks around and fires people for no reason.) This is a company stuck in the 1980s. Granted, if you're fresh out of college, like eating bagels on Fridays, and only see yourself at a job for a few months, this might be the job for you. I would not advise getting too comfortable... or unpacking your belongings... you're better off leaving them boxed up. I should mention, I was NOT a victim of Random Fire Friday. After ten years, I was disgusted by the turn the company had taken and told them exactly how I felt about bagels and everything else.

CAI is a smaller family owned company with a tremendous heart not only for the good of their associates but through philanthropic work on numerous levels.CAI is thriving in large part because of the new additions of forward thinking leaders who have assessed the viable business intentions, and are transporting CAI’s mission and values to the 21st century. From a Human Resources viewpoint, we know of no companies who would terminate a person before brain surgery and/or a serious health condition, inclusive of employee protective legislature and rights such as FMLA, ADA etc. Change for most is a struggle to adapt to. CAI is currently experience a progressive transformation for the betterment of growth for all associates and its business. We appreciate your feedback and am sorry to hear about your experience, if you wish to discuss further, please contact CAI’s HR Department

Pros

Good Work-Life Balance Relaxed environment Working here isn't that bad unless you actually want to work and succeed in your career (see cons)

Cons

This is a dinosaur company that only serves other dinosaur companies and/or fossils. Any highly positive reviews are either from an earlier point in the companies time or were put there by managers that were told to do so more recently. Over the 4 years I was at this company I've seen nothing but downside. Our glassdoor rating has plummeted, more and more employees are leaving to seek better opportunities, and more work is being outsourced. You cannot build a career here, there is no growth ladder, no way to visualize yourself within the next 2, 4, or 5 years if you decide to stay. Plus because we do not follow any other basic industry practices or use modern technologies. You will be laughed at in other interviews when you describe your experience. There is absolutely no innovation within corporate, and other locations feel like separate companies instead of following after corporates examples. Absolutely no communication on company vision or between teams, employees are left in the dark. The organization is cheap, refuses to invest in its own infrastructure for the products it is desperately trying to sell. Products and services are outdated, no research is being done on what other competing companies are offering. The industry has far outpaced what the company thinks the industry needs. Underpaid. You will be salaried at about 5k to 10k off of industry median rates. Plus no 401k match. Managers lie to the CEO on how a product is performing just so they don't get the blame. There are also a few products that have only cost the company money for years, move on and INNOVATE. Don't just create a product you think the world needs. Solve a problem that exists within the industry. There also is this thought process that upper-level employees think. It's along the lines that we are best at what we do because we are "Computer Aid" and we are a "World Leader". We are far from a world leader, we are a drop in the bucket. Just an old IT company that does not know what it wants to be and refuses to change its thinking. A great example of this is the website design. In 2016 the website looked like it was from 1993 and wasn't updated until 2017. How can you expect to sell products and services to modern companies without even having a modern looking website? Honestly, I see no growth in this company over the next 2, 4, or even 8, years. If you still work there, start looking elsewhere. There are way better opportunities, trust me. If you are a prospective candidate pass on this and move on. All of this piling on top of each other makes your work mundane and meaningless.

Like the technology field itself, CAI is constantly evolving and is working hard to expand the solutions we offer clients. This year we have invested in building a team of experts to help companies select and implement intelligent automation. Our agile and cloud practice area also is giving employees new ways to contribute their expertise. We aim to create a community in which collaborative peer-to-peer relationships and autonomous teams can develop and grow in a way that builds trust and innovative thinking. We pay close attention to the market and work to give our employees opportunities to deepen their skills and grow in their fields, so they benefit both personally and professionally.
