Pros

Great benefits, good work and life balance if you know how to manage it. The design software products are amazing.

Cons

Too many politics and layers, things move very slowly. Lot of people have the attitude of either “it’s someone else’s fault” or “it’s someone else job to do that”. People and team work in silo, lack of transparency and cooperation. Some people get their way for (silent) promotion and ad-hoc overseas “home visit/business trips” just because they can “talk to” the manager. Some even bullied new comers. Salary is not set in the right target for the right experience, gender might be a contributing factor.

Pros

benefits are good, that is all can be said for pros

Cons

-even though they use agile, most still work in silo. -create massive of layers with in the overall systems and expect things to performs in 1 sec. -never ending of design changes or project getting placed on hold as management want to change focus, this is with in 6 month to 1 year -no clear direction on end goals but just wants to use anything that is new but may not benefit the company's system -too many teams working on the same system with overlapping designs and function clashes.

Pros

New Exec. Mgmt. seems to be pointing the company in the right directions.

Cons

Mutual admiration society preferring to hide its head in the sand rather than acknowledge and address realities. Poor decision making by lower mgmt. State of fear of loosing ones position creates an environment where employees tell managers what they think they want to hear vs what they need to know. Fierce protectionism of the tenured in the face of inefficient, wasteful and expensive practices. Hold's on to 1980's reasoning for today's management style, without asking why? If its not on fire, "don't put too much effort into it". Continuous improvement is not practiced. Tremendous efforts by some to hide the results of their actions and lack of action. Corrosive underpinnings.
