      Pros

      Most of the people are intelligent and hardworking individuals. Slow work at times and down time. Summer hours decent benefits.

      Cons

      only select few move up, managers who feel the heat find people to use as scapegoats. Employee moral has decreased. Everyone sees the writing on the wall. Incompetent people have become managers and are creating an even worse situation.

      Pros

      Great benefits, consistent raises, excellent flavor company to learn and excell. Excellent technology. A lot of very intelligent people to work with.

      Cons

      A lot of politics. People work in silos. Gender bias. No On-Boarding, sink or swim. A lot of cattiness and protecting one's own butts. Lack of transparency. Abrasive marketing team that is understaffed. Trust issues with operations. Favoritism runs rampant at all levels. Appearance teamwork is only for showmanship, high degree of distrust and whispering.

      Pros

      flexible schedule, some work very interesting (only because I love the subject), some very smart, committed people, doing great work inspite of management.

      Cons

      no future, regardless of your accomplishments. everything is boiled down to a "metric" or number. How many X did you you do, not what did you do and what value came from it. Management has 2 or 3 favorites because they keep their mouth shut - comply don't think!! No critical thinking here. Again, very little advancement. I've seen outstanding workers, very productive committed people, at the same level for 30 years. Forget about any career development - althought it's spouted by senior executives, there are no chances to learn or further develop your craft. Everything I've learned here is beacuse I did it myself without going through managment. And did it on my own time.
