Pros

compensation, excluding retirement benefits, is the only reason to work there. Talent used to be high, but a lot of good people have left.

Cons

Personnel management methods include bullying and intimidation tactics R&D directors align under them spineless sycophants as line managers Micromanagement has run out of control, to the point of being demeaning to intelligent people Managers will stop at nothing to ruin careers so they can have their annual allotment - 5% - of "poor" performers.

Pros

Money, that's the only reason.

Cons

Mid level managers are arrogant tyrants. First line managers are sold out, frightened, message carriers. You will be lied to. You will be lied about. Everything about how they will treat employees is a lie. All that matters is managers are always protected.
