Pros

I have some good friends, but not easy to think of anything great here. Nothing you could not find better at other places.

Cons

The politics are vicious, and leadership is ineffective or not existent. No path to grow. Feels like in decline and better days behind. Office is crowded and always under construction. Europe is not important to the company so not a priority.

Great Past, But Losing Its Way

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is full of incredibly smart people, especially in technology. The recruitment process is tough, so you’re working with some of the brightest minds. Pay is good, and the facilities are excellent

Cons

The company has grown too large and corporate, with politics becoming a bigger focus. Many managers, despite being smart, aren’t great at leading teams. Success now depends more on managing internal dynamics than doing your job well. In Asia and Europe, the focus is on pleasing US management, and even in the US, more political hires are coming in. Many good people have left, and it feels more like “Jump Corp Inc.” now.
