      The Invasion of the Body Snatchers -aka "Take me down to Layoff City, where the grass isn't green..."

      Pros

      Pretty good compensation and benefits, some work from home.

      Cons

      Zero job security or opportunities for advancements: 10% layoff last year, 13% this year. Consulting is an afterthought to this company, there is no consistent direction and the new CEO clearly has the Consulting organization in the crosshairs, as it was hit to the tune of 30%. Prepare to be nothing but a speck of dust in the wind.

      Change for the worse.

      Pros

      Great benefits, normal salary, lenient schedules.

      Cons

      Technical Support in particular is in shambles. They are turning it into a revolving door of under-qualified, under-paid, call center personnel. I have been here 1 year and change and have seen 2 MASSIVE layoffs, and other cherry picking of laying off others. NO ONE IS HAPPY with the current state of the support organization. From what I hear, other departments are not in as bad of shape, but global customer support is being run by people who have very unclear, and illogical decision making abilities. There is NO room for advancement... that would mean more work for middle management that holds it thumb on you (for 8+ years in some cases)... they would have to backfill your position.

      Toxic environment, steer clear

      Pros

      Benefits are good, colleagues are mostly great

      Cons

      Technical support used to be a great job. Within the past year there have been many changes as they restructure the org, and they have clearly demonstrated that they could not care less about their support staff. The rest of the company gets to work remotely if they choose to, but support specifically has a three day in-office requirement? We are clearly viewed as second class citizens, and no feedback is ever taken into account. Upper management claims they are listening and open to feedback, but all they do is nod and smile and nothing is done. They are regimenting our daily schedules down to the minute with no flexibility and work/life balance is in the toilet. It is also making it impossible to help our customers the way they need and expect help.
