Pros

Good pay, excellent cash compensation package, many diverse learning opportunities, cool in-house tools, and innovative services. Opportunities for growth. Opportunities for in-house training. Good bonus program. The Employee Stock Purchase program is very good.

Cons

Musical management, changing organizational priorities with no apparent goal.

Long hours.

Large portions of the company are permanently capped at maximum PTO with no way to earn more (inadequate time off).

Lack of coherent information from management about divested business units.

There are a lot of employees who are unsure whether they will have a job once their business unit is divested, and what the timeline for divestitures is, for that matter.

Advice to Management

Figure out what you want to accomplish. Then, let the employees know the goals so we can accomplish them and continue to make the company profitable.
