Pros

Competitive salaries, expense coverage for company-supported efforts, passionate employees, relatively convenient location, open to increasing and supporting employee education, well respected technical legacy,

Cons

Lack of direction and focus from current leadership, inability to bring to fruition goals and inspire necessary action to achieve them. Words to increase productivity ring hollow when leadership is so lacking in bringing about next level of technical innovation to market. More interest in maintaining current status quo than making the hard decision to change leaders.

Pros

Great people, amazing technology, used to be a great place to work

Cons

Executives and leadership are in positions they are not qualified for. Inconsistent and contradictory messaging from HR and leadership has lead many employees to feel they are no longer valued, Blatant age and gender discrimination from leadership down. They consistently make bad decisions after bad decisions which has lead to many failed initiatives and poor financial performance. They seem to be in a downward spiral

Pros

9/80 Work Schedule On-site fitness center

Cons

Micromanagement is rampant. Work culture can be particularly toxic in certain departments. Company policies (particularly those surrounding telecommuting) are horribly antiquated. Pettiness and politics abound.
