Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent benefits and competitive salary.

Cons

Management frequently changes strategic direction, resulting in layoffs and low morale. Performance expectations can be unrealistic with lean staff and tight deadlines requiring night and weekend work on a regular basis. Not a company that values work-life balance. A relatively flat organization with minimal opportunities for advancement.

Pros

Good benefits, health, 401k. Good pay. Hardly ever worked weekends, unless super busy.

Cons

They company is very large and impersonal. Very little effort is made to help employees manage their career development. Communication, while frequent, is weak. Employees do not understand the company strategies and decisions which results in a lack of faith in leadership.

Pros

Global Company so one would hope a lot of opportunity.

Cons

Terrible place to work. They give the standard line that employees are their most important asset then proceed to treat you as expendable and work you like a slave expecting 24x7 access. They talk about integrity as a core value and then the CEO has a sordid affair with A hired executive consultant that ends with gunshots into his home from his wife, Followed by A divorce and the firing of the consultant but the CEO maintains his job and says it's personal and none of anyone's business so will not be discussed further. Low Morale and chaotic management and constant change is typical.
