      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation, interesting technology. Smart people at the execution level

      Cons

      1. Lack of executive leadership 2. HR department are free floaters that don't do anything 3. No work-life balance 4. Agreed, promotions are based on who you know and not what you do or how well you do it. 5. Executive management sit on a kings chair and don't really care if things are going well or not, and they don't want to hear anything. 6. Incompetent exec leadership

      Excellent Job and Benefits, Horrible Management

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The job itself and the benefits are wonderful.

      Cons

      Management is beyond bad. HR does nothing about the issues that are reported to them. Training is non-existent.

      Pros

      Some very talented, very nice people. All depends on the group you're in. Pleasant physical environment. Good pay, including bonuses.

      Cons

      If you're in one of the not-so-good groups, it is like living in a tribe of primitives from 10,000 B.C. Strong personalities set the direction. Whoever yells loudest, throws the most effective tantrum, or interrupts the most, that's who sets direction. Managers talk smack about other employees during your 1:1 (backstabbing anyone?). It feels like middle school with the people who suck up to the manager getting the promotions. Anyone who thinks for himself is shunned. Individual contributors are simultaneously told to "think for yourself" and "follow the conventions". Managers meddle in individual contributor work while ignoring their own managerial work. Performance reviews are late and without constructive input. No one knows why they got the bonus (or lack of) they got. Abuse of manager power can be epic.
