Business Outlook

Pros

1) Core values - The company has core values that resonate with mine. This is a company where core values are not just a poster but something that you can see everywhere. Check the list on the company website 2) People- great genius people around, always ready to share. 3) Products - the products is what makes this place awesome. Knowing that we make a difference in pushing the boundaries of the human knowledge.

Cons

slightly more cautious than what I like - but since that ensures profitability, I am okay.

Great company, mostly bad/lazy managers

Quality engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing benefits and perks. It's mostly unheard of to get these kinds of perks. Having worked in both support and business departments I can say they are completely different cultures. You are free to come in whenever you want and leave whenever you want if you are in a non-support role.

Cons

Most employees are very lazy and leave for the day way too early. Many managers don't seem to care about their team. Some have no clue what their employees are doing/not doing. Compensation is not really based on performance, but rather meeting sometimes strange company metrics/goals. It is always hard to make improvements as management thinks you don't like current environment and you are against everything they say.
