Pros

Cons

Very poor communication, little consideration for employees, poor management decisions, low pay, decent vision but the day to day isn't attached to reality, micro-managing from on high, constant change/disruption with expectations that the employees will pick up the pieces and work overtime to achieve what is then required with little information but many demands.

Pros

Large company with good benefits. Attempts to maintain open communications.

Cons

Fragmented product strategy due to acquisitions. If you are part of an acquisition you will be lost in the shuffle eventually.
