You have to carve your own way

Pros

There are many smart, competant, and funny people. The Red Door is across the street. You can tell an SVP what you really think over a beer and not be afraid you'll be fired.

Cons

Changing industry, too many promises, too many number one priorities. High performers are overshadowed and mis-directed by middle managers that don't have the training they need. Date driven death marches in IT in the midst of embracing Lean-Agile it taking it's toll on the quality of the work we do and morale.

Pros

Getty hires good competent people wih generally good attitudes. Great health/dental/vision benefits. Allows domestic partner benefits at low cost. Great location in the heart of Fremont. Not your average company, very lively and much like Fremont. Spends money on new technologies instead of finding ways keep old technology alive. Every employee has their ideas considered.

Cons

Getty while still very successful seems to be using the economic downturn to make cuts, this may be due to the fact that Getty is now privately owned. Slowly starting to care more about the company and less about the employee. Overall employee moral is lowering. 401k matching has ceased. Bonuses are now 100% Company performance based(used to be 50% individual performanced based)
