Pros

Good for a first job if you are just out of school or are an intern and want something for about a year or two to kill time until finding something better.

Cons

Management is completely out of touch and morale remains low especially at the old LTC Milpitas location in California.

They continue to layoff people whom they needed to keep due to their ignorance and then find out the hard way, but only after it's too late.

Your success is mostly determined by your visibility because if you quietly do excellent technical work you are a real layoff target.

Certain managers will intentionally keep your visibility down when you have skills and they use those skills to advance their own status thus insuring your status always remains the same until you are eventually targeted for eventual layoff.

Favoritism and abuse also run a muck in certain groups and is swept under the rug by HR despite employee complaints. Employees quietly complain to each other, but are afraid to raise concerns for fear of retribution which almost always happens if and when someone does.

Advice to Management

Get a clue as to what really goes on with your employees in their working environment because you are too far removed from the day to day interactions people actually face in the workplace.

Your sense of reality of what goes on isn't real.
