Pros

Many of the rank-and-file employees are truly talented and are among some of my favorite co-workers I've had over the span of my career.

Cons

The executive staff seems to be quite delusional. They seem to think that injecting this senior executive or that acquisition is going to somehow change their fortunes but all they have to show for this folly is rolling layoffs. They feel compelled to provide ample alcohol to keep the employees numb to the ever-present feelings of creeping dread which pervades the workplace.

Pros

My base pay is very good but does not make up for the headache of working for the company. The bonus paid out high this year as well.

Cons

Poor stock options are the least of the problems. It is a mean-spirited, toxic-work environment. There are pockets of good people that make it tolerable on some days but overall, it is a ruthless and gut-wrenching day-to-day experience. I've worked at places where priorities shift and that is manageable. The problem with Neustar is that not only do priorities shift, but the shift without all the right people knowing. The culture is very back stabbing and nasty. I've never had people treat me so poorly at work. Not worth the lure of a good paycheck to lose yourself in a such a disheartening place. People do not care about the company, they are just punching the clock to get a check and to play mind games on other employees.

Pros

Great benefits, average pay, low stress, strong 401k match, mediocre ESPP (no lookback), good place to park until you find something better

Cons

Bleak future, dysfunctional management, busy work and people trying to look busy, nepotism/cronyism, revolving door of executives and highly paid consultants
