Pros

The company is very respectful to its employees. No one is expected to work long hours. Everyone has a fair enough chance to get promotions, and the compensation is very good. The company wants to retain its people and has good work-life balance.

Cons

With the latest trends, the company is shedding Test employees, and the situation is bad. They could have moved people around, but they chose to lay people off. I lost my job in the process as well.

Advice to Management

Yes, it is a big corporation, and yes, there is too much process.
