Business Outlook

Pros

Nothing that I can think of

Cons

Pay is below average. They took away $7,000 in PSRU stock and tried to cover it up like we are dumb. They claim to do market adjustments but that’s never been do. They claim to do market surveys for salary but they most they give is 3% if you are lucky. They keeping taking stuff away and expect people to be happy. Experiencing above average turnover right now and the only thing they care about is 10 billion.

Worst job I've ever had - and there have been some bad ones!!

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice office building, health insurance, stock plan

Cons

Expected to work 24 hours a day every day. One or two people are left as subject matter experts on large product areas and expected to handle all work/queries in these areas. Too many chiefs trying to be "innovative" with ridiculous ideas.
