Good Pay, Bad Leadership
Good Pay, Bad Leadership
Good salary and benefits, compared to some places. Smart people, decent work-life balance. The company has name recognition.
Company leadership isn't great. They are more interested in financial strategies to boost stock prices than actually innovating or being a leader in technology. Outsourcing is a big problem. When you outsource, you save money on labor, but you also lose a lot of good talent and replace it with inexperienced, not-so-good talent. Thus, the quality of your products begins to suffer, and you lose customers.
The middle managers I encountered were fine, although being a bit more transparent and not so "professional" would be preferable to me.
