Pros
  • Good benefits
  • Work-life balance

Because of the above reasons, I am giving them two stars.

Cons

Office politics is rampant. The way you move up is by sucking up to middle management.

Performance management gives too much power to the middle managers, most of whom are inept and only promote folks they like. It has nothing to do with your work.

Advice to Management

If you want to be a tech company, hire Directors, Sr. Managers, and Managers that know tech. Get rid of all the middle management stuck in the 80's style of management.
