      A big impersonal corporation with little regard for workers

      Project manager

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      As with any large corporation, the focus is not on employees but if one manages to stick it out one could theoretically move to any LB office worldwide. There were a few friendly people and many standoffish ones.

      Cons

      Witnessed one PM hired just before the holidays then fired afterwards so LB could have someone cover for other PMs on holidays. Consoled one translation manager who broke down in tears late one late night due to overwork. Effectively had to take bullet for the team and resign when engineering seriously underestimated the difficulty/cost/duration of a project and as the PM I was responsible for the resulting customer fallout. End of month accounting and revenue recognition was such a pain often taking days to complete.

      V. low pay

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Somewhat flexible hours make this a job that can supplement a full-time job if you don't need to make much money.

      Cons

      Poor pay to begin with and asked to "donate" lots of time for training, resolving tasks, taking webinars, etc. that you aren't paid for doing. Lots of times, jobs aren't available when you have time available to work.

      Not someplace I would recommend to a friend

      Pros

      # Average to slightly above average salary # Most everyone outside senior leadership is friendly and approachable # Average office location # Global workforce Sadly, I am having difficulty thinking of more positives. Having worked here for several years, you would think I could muster up a couple more, but that is not the case.

      Cons

      # Toxic work environment # Revolving door is unlikely to end anytime soon - IT staff are treated as commodity items, not people # Employees are subject to bullying from senior IT staff # HR looks the other way instead of tackling the problem, head-on # IT systems are extremely unstable due to poor planning and budget constraints, and this leads to excessive work hours and unrealistic expectations # No bonuses or stock to speak of (unless you are one of the chosen few) # Waltham staff walk around like beaten stepchildren. It seemed to me that far more than 50% of peers were looking for jobs actively # Raises. What raises? (at least for the last several years) # Reviews. Not likely. # Very cliquey - if you aren't "in", you won't be a happy camper
