CRAY - not a good place to work

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, free drinks and crackers, pizza once a month

Cons

Terrible culture, no training, if you sign up for what you think is an 8hr a day job forget it, they expect 10 minimum. Most stressful place I've ever worked.

Cray is nice, but certainly is no Cray Research.

Business Outlook

Pros

St Paul facility is nice and parking is free (but sort of a pain.) Benefits are better than most. Innovation and technical expertise are valued.

Cons

The culture isn't very friendly or fun - little or no time for socializing and getting to know fellow employees (the divided up facility probably made this worse.) Recognition is inconsistent across divisions. Performance planning and feedback is hampered by painful tools. There is a lot of work to do and not enough time to do it right.
