Pros

Excellent benefits, especially if you are Sr. Staff and above. That's right, their class system applied to not just salaries and bonuses.

Cons
  1. Arrogance runs through this place.

  2. Outdated IT environment makes it difficult to accomplish tasks.

  3. Seems completely headless when making decisions; nobody is willing to stick their neck out. See #1.

  4. HR/Recruiting are clueless and offend people for no real reason. See #1.

  5. Entrenched management is checked out, leaving their "underlings" to do all the work. It's also impossible to advance in this company without having friends at the VP level.

Advice to Management

Too far gone.
