Falling from grace

Pros

Historically good compensation and benefits (although this is changing)

Cons

1) Lack of diversity at the top (i.e. no women in leadership positions) 2) Long history of promoting from within has created an inbred culture of executives who cannot see the world from different perspectives. As a result, the company is slow to respond to industry changes. 3) Top-heavy organizations have too many thinkers (making the big bucks) and not enough do-ers (making much less, but carrying the majority of the workload) 4) Wastes money on the wrong things (i.e. huge corporate branding campaigns instead of meaningful product marketing)

No longer a company for Engineers

Pros

Nice if your not an engineer. Raises and bonuses were good but have taken a hit with economic woes and professional managers wanting to make themselves look good. It's a good place for a newbie engineer to start and boost salary. Don't stay over 3 years if smart.

Cons

QC use to be a company run by engineers and for engineers. Now taken over by professional non engineer managers who need to "show" how well they manage. Engineers are now considered easily replaceable. Also, medical benefits took a nose dive starting this year.

Pros

No Pros. CEO has no vision. Morale is all time low since 2008.

Cons

Company side chaos, leadership shuns most advice. Health benefits, bonus, merit increase has been slashed to almost zero. Employees pay 100% of $3000 before insurance covers $0.01
