Pros

Benefits are really great, especially the longer you work there. The people are awesome. They provide training and tuition benefits so you will learn a lot from working here.

Cons

The opportunity for promotions rarely come up, the leadership either does not communicate or looks out for his or her own interests.

Pros

The company had a lot of talented people, interesting work and overall a great learning experience. Nice colleagues and team members.

Cons

Layoffs every month to quarter, with a big bang annual layoff for the past couple of years. Rif's occur with a set headcount reduction goal, a lot of talent is purged out and what remains is mostly dead-weight. Toxic environment. Politics thrives due to insecurities. If anyone wants to con themselves in thinking they are there because they are valued, wake up! and move out before they drain the life out of you. Leadership would openly say during company-wide meetings, that their plan is to let attrition work itself, even with high-performers. Lot of great talent has left the company without any effort put in to retain them. And the rest are laid off. I am sure there are talented people still out there, but the company is bent on losing them.

No longer what we used to be

Pros

The lower management is still very focused on ensuring that the people are put first and that the employee is valued. There is an undercurrent inside the company that strives to innovate and continue the legacy of our founder.

Cons

Upper management seems to no longer holds that the individual employee brings value and that they are to be treated with respect or compassion. Many, if not most, decisions appear to be cost based (or at the least heavily related to cost). There is very little room to grow at this point with almost no back fill positions available including managers thus forcing most to remain in their current position for the undetermined future.
