Horrible management, not a long term place to be.

Pros

Over time paid. Good coworkers most of them. Flex hours. Good pay. Group leaders are nice most of the time and try to help as much as possible

Cons

Upper management is horrible, they got no clue and always focus on cost cutting. God knows how many restructuring they will do. And now they have this ridiculous initiative called Quesst that is driving everyone crazy. No growth within the company if you want to do something. 2% salary increase for employee and 100% for the management. Sometimes it feels like there are more executives than employees. There are 2-3 VPs for each group sometimes. Some people in the management are completely useless and they need to be fired if Marc parent is so concerned about cutting cost. Marc Parent's salary doubled since last year but he insisted to cut 350 people to reduce the cost, there you can see how ethical they are.

Pros

- We were given the whole year's vacation at the beginning of the year rather than waiting for it to accrue - Nice referral bonus if you get someone to come and stay a little while - Get to use up to 12 floating holidays and a few freebies

Cons

Boy are there a lot of these: - No room to move up, at all - Boss has told us we do not get promotions period - Pays much less than the average for the field ex: I work with several people that make more than me and don't have a degree, I have an engineering degree - Will not negotiate offered pay at hiring, it's take it or leave it - More or less ignored by HQ because of the isolation at NM site - No training offered
