Not all bad, not all good
Not all bad, not all good
Excellent quality of peers, the chance to work on projects with great import, quality support staff/online help, and learning opportunities.
Cutthroat. Need to impress publicly. You can't advance just by putting your head down and doing your job. The worst people seem to advance the most. Work/life balance is impossible if you want to earn good bonuses and get solid reviews.
Lead rather than follow. Innovation should always be the goal. Pay your employees better and stop foisting health care costs on them.
