Pros
  • Salary and cash bonuses can be fairly high if you negotiate well with recruiters.
  • It is fairly stable if you have no professional pride.
Cons
  • Once you are past the first year, compensation is either flat or decreases every year.
  • The review system is just for show; you can have many S's and still get less money than the previous year.
  • The pace is very slow, to the point it's demotivating.
Advice to Management

Management rewards the wrong behaviors, demotivating high performers. In the end, people will leave, and they are left with people who can't find a better job. I wonder how this is sustainable in the long run, but I guess this company is "too big to fail."
