Pros

Good benefits. If you're in the right team, I could see it being an okay place to be. Things work out better for those who keep their heads down, do their job, and don't rock the boat.

Cons

Bullying not only tolerated but encouraged. A culture of fear, with annual layoffs every November.

I witnessed the poor treatment of a once outstanding coworker who became ill (illness is seen as weakness?). She was laid off so they didn't have to deal with her anymore.

Management has no empathy or tolerance for weakness. Complaining about wrongdoing, including the poor treatment of women, is dealt with by laying off those that speak up.

Advice to Management

Cull the ranks of employees who aren't outstanding.

Get rid of jerks instead of promoting them.
