Pros

Competative salary and good benefits

Cons

There is a serious issue at the Senior management level that continue to result in the high employee turnover rate. Senior management has no experience in managing people, their staff or projects. They display very poor communication, no recognition for employee achievements or hard work and provide no support for their staff. Senior management here is known to have bad intentions, do not support their staff, and uses primative tactics that continue to demotivate, discourage and disrespect their employees which result in employees constantly looking for employment elsewhere and high turn over rate. They have high demands but have no clue to what is needed to sucessfully execute or complete priority projects. They are only out for themselves and are too busy playing the political game and will not hesitate to blame others when issues arises in efforts to deflect blame from themselves. They will make empty promises upon hire to reel you in the company such as balance of work and family life and flexible work hours however once you are there, everything changes. They openly display favortism, do not treat all their employees fairly, are not at all flexible with all of their staff and some are expected to work unreasonable work hours away from their family while others are not. Even then, you will not receive any appreciation or acknowledgement for your dilegence and commitment. The all around bad management here (at manager level & above) results in unhappy, highly stressed, frustrated, disgruntal employees which result in a lack of team efforts and many environmental issues. If you are thinking of joining their Quality Assurance department, please do your research and think twice. There are many good companies out there, unfortunately this is not one of them.

Pros

Great Benefits: good medical/dental & 401k contribution

Cons

-It's about WHO you know! If you are a friend or related to Sr. Management you will be promoted, otherwise it would be very hard to get recognized or promoted, regardless your academic preparation, if you EE your annual PMP! -My position was transferred to another country without giving me the opportunity to be relocated, no wonder US Jobs Unemployment rates are so high! -Sr. Management accomodate the numbers for their own benefit = bonus! -they will eliminate your position before you reached your 5th year anniversary, so you won't qualified for the retirement pension plan.
