Pros

Kept my job through 12 layoffs over a period of 9 years.

Cons

Laid off on the 13th layoff. Very heavy politics. Get yelled at and see colleagues also get yelled at. 100% turnover where team of 20 reduced to 4. Smartest people who did not agree to bad management decisions were laid off. Patent holders who created the products were decimated leaving the future pipeline bare.

Pros

Talented employees, decent starting salaries.

Cons

Bad benefits. Terrible upper management. There is no loyalty from them. They cut great people ruthlessly, whether you work tons of hours or not. Bonuses and salary upgrades are kept to themselves. Add all this plus unfair work expectations and you have a great place to be from!!!
