If you are happy with your starting salary then your position is secure. Effort is up to you.

Business Outlook

Pros

Vacation time, Benefits, 401k package, flex time are all attractive and contribute to the loyalty of their employees. Global business, multicultural colleagues, and industry leader.

Cons

Negotiate your base salary, then don't expect much growth. Bonuses are inconsistent and not based on merit- everyone is treated equally to a fault. HR is not confidential. Effort and loyalty don't amount to much here. Those who don't work hard are not encouraged to apply themselves, in fact, they can do very little to maintain their job and it is rare that any one is fired. Redundancy leads to layoffs, but no one ever gets fired. What is the incentive to work hard?

Really great in some ways - but still a work in progress in others

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is great and management are really supportive.

Cons

The company seems quite dysfunctional in lots of ways and this can be frustrating. Many processes and systems are tedious and certainly not customer-focussed.
