Pros

Recently raised vacation period from 2 weeks to 3 weeks.

Cons

No chance for advancement because hiring freeze, reducing work force through natural attrition Experience (old) work force means stagnation, no new ideas, everyone afraid to change the status quo, people with no technical skills in managment positions just because they have been with the company for 30 years.

Pros

Some managers are good and fair. Some departments seem to keep workers challenged, but rewarded. Seems like a relatively stable company.

Cons

Evaluations are not always meaningful, depends on the manager. Promotions and awards seem somewhat random. The environment ncourages the image of competance, rather working together toward a common goal.
