CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice Gym. Nice intranet. Nice heath center

Cons

A lot of management layers, tons of managers, VP, senior VP, GM.. You are supposed to work on weekend, night time by paying yourself boardband. Totally lose you life. Ranking system makes everyone is your enemy, not going to share information and complete/trap each other. Your rank is totally based on your manager taste. No career growth. No inflation adjustment and no raise. Current layoff and outsource all USA jobs to India.
