Lying leads-when you "retired" elders who made too much money, you set the tone, we too could go- so the good are going.

Sr. business analyst

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A few good people are keeping the place going- but the company culture is broken.

Cons

Offered an optional early retirement program to 400 people-- many of those who did not accept were told to accept it or be fired. This is called age discrimination and it is dishonest.

Terrible management outweighs benefits

Business analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The benefits were nice. The job was always challenging with something new most every day. Potential to never be bored.

Cons

Insane micro-management. Never got to learn the business because manager laid out everything and every detail. Had to have emails approved for grammar (I was an English major!) before sending out. Manager would throw you under the bus as soon as his boss questioned anything. HR was no use. We had 7 people leave the team in 4 months and all reported the same problems with management and nothing was done. Work here if you want good pay/benefits but don’t mind be yelled at on conference calls, treated like a child, and being told you are easily replaceable. If you are a high producer, forget about moving to a new role.
