Pros

Flexible work hours for most groups. Good office location. Excellent if slightly odd medical insurance. Some of the more useless directors and VP's have been cashing out and leaving.

Cons

Sr. Mgmt. painfully out of touch with normal earners; employee or customer. Caste system runs wild. If you try and talk up you are not seen. No perks. Tuition reimbursement, gone. Company store credit, gone. Spring thank you party, gone. No real advancement opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

- *Used to* have some of the best talents in the world - Arbitrary work assignments leading to few lucky people getting good work regardless of experience - Best place to work for 1-2 years if you want to do MS/Phd later - Company has overall a good reputation outside - One of the best CEO's around the world

Cons

- No or very limited employee benefits and rewards - Too many project cancellations . company is on the downfall from last 3 years - Too many managers and leads than working force leading to more work per employee - Company makes sure that it wouldn't give any compensation / benefits to retain the employees - Lot of politics. Work contributions are not valued. What is more valued is how many managers and HR contacts does one have - Slipping the deadlines has become a habit for the company. Unrealistic project deadlines leading to more stress on already lean work force. - Local managers don't encourage new ideas or methodologies - Outdated and very old technology and methodology flows - Core-values are only meant to be on slides. If followed strictly, it leads to total isolation from the team
