Pros

Laid back. Good work-life balance. Competitive pay.

Cons

The company is in severe cost-cutting mode, with yearly RIFs (reductions in force) or layoffs.

The PBC (performance-based compensation) rating system is broken.

C-level and higher executives are mostly clueless and have no trust in tech people.

There is non-stop offshoring to India and China.

Advice to Management

The company is legacy. Adapt or die.
