Pros

free food: breakfast, lunch and snacks company events

Cons

Highly incompetent executive and management team No direction as to where the organization is heading towards Whatever work the engineer will do will be thrown away in 1 month saying that the company does not need it anymore Company struggling to survive in the market Frequent organizational changes leads to lower the confidence of the employees tense environment Even the Human Resources department is a big sham. If you have a genuine issue with some manager or executive, the HR department choose not to do anything about it just because the manager/executive has been with the company for a longtime

Pros

Lunch, Snacks, Employee Events, Used to respect talented folks.

Cons

I will speak only about the IT/Engineering department. There are a few people that the senior management gotta fire if they ever hope to retain engineering talent in this company. Cause these people treat this company like their private club and are driving talented people out of the company. Look carefully at your directors and the project managers. I know at least 5 people who have quit in about 8 weeks after being frustrated by this inner political circle of people. These folks can get away with anything in this company. They don't listen to input from talented engineers and they want to do things their own ways even when their ways lead to no delivery. They have the authority to treat people like dirt and the senior management can't seem to do squat about it. Talented engineers are leaving the company in droves because these middle managers and project managers just won't let a hard working free thinking employees survive. If you are not buddies with these middle managers your career at the company is pretty much stalled. You can work as hard as you can, but you are not going anywhere. That is the only reason I and several people around me quit . And this untouchable and inefficient political club in the middle management is the biggest problem with this company. At the end of the day who care, they want complete control, sure take it. There are plenty of other good places who are happy to steal talent from this company. Since they are unable to retain good engineering talent, outsourcing has started at a fast pace. This is frustrating the employees even further because it is super hard to work with people on the other side of the globe who know very little about the company's business and technology.

Pros

The usual that everybody says: Free lunches and snacks, Company events, Casual dress code,

Cons

1. Two Rounds of layoffs in the last 6 months. 2. Management's incompetence and desperation shows in the frequent org changes and change in directions. 3. No innovation. Absolutely none. Just copying features from their main competitors. 4. Promotions primarily based on being friends with the managers. Hard workers often get no glory. 5. The worst problem in my opinion is this : A lot of managers have no business being managers. They were made managers cause they were friends with their managers. They are immature, got no people skills, act rude, push people unnecessary, put people on spot and act just plain mean. They are the ones who are destroying the teams. So many people have left in recent months because of them. These people can get away with anything in this company. This makes employees super mad. 6. The best people working in IT are either gone are are planning to leave. 7. Other people have rightfully pointed out the project management nightmare. People who were secretaries have been made project managers. They have no management education or skills, no understanding of the engineering work and all they do is suck up to management and be mean to the staff. 8. Overall the company has become a nightmare. Employee morale is super low and it is reflected in the employee survey results.
