They pay very well.
I had a very good manager.
Very nice and knowledgeable people to work with.
Cheap, cheap, cheap when it comes to buying supplies, software, or for department celebrations, to the point of folks kicking in their own money to make the event enjoyable.
Very old culture. I worked in an area where the over 50 age group was the majority. No stability; they laid off departments in an area and cut staff to the point of them almost not being able to do their work because they didn't hit the stock price they were looking for. I think folks that started 30 years ago got a good run, but even the old folks say it's not the same anymore. They offshore their internal support, so if you have an issue with your local computer, you get to call India, and then they dispatch someone locally to come look at it because 9 times out of 10 they don't know how to fix the issue or can't because you physically need to fix the problem.
Get back to investing in employees. Happy employees are much more productive and will get you to that stock price and keep the company there much better than cutting every corner on everything.
