Pros
  • Good WLB
  • People are generally nice
Cons
  • Constant re-org.
  • A lot of turnover in recent months, and we lost some very talented folks as a result.
  • A lot of middle management; they have no idea what they are doing.
  • People get promoted just by the virtue of sticking around longer or when they reach their stock cliff, and not necessarily based on skills. It is pretty much an insult to those who earned their level.
  • The compensation system is archaic; it doesn't reward people on merit but rather punishes them for being on a higher pay.
  • If you're after a rewarding and fulfilling career, you might want to look elsewhere.
Advice to Management

Reward people on merit, and take a good hard look at the upper management and what value they add to the company.
