      Pros

      The people are passionate, hardworking and believe the company will turn around. They are very resourceful and do good work with few resources they're given.

      Cons

      On average there's a 2% annual salary increase, morale is low and while the corporate strategy is planned, the tactical implementation is dependent upon the CEO's whims.

      Over-the-hill tech company

      Pros

      Good opportunities to learn new skills and technology if you're motivated.

      Cons

      Very resource constrained. No company strategy, poor product & project management, poor advancement opportunities. Senior leadership is opaque and unhelpful.

      I am so glad I am no longer working there

      Pros

      1. Very good benefits, great location 2. I was given time-off whenever I needed it and had flexibility to work from home

      Cons

      Where do I start: 1. Lot of micro-management and name calling...so much of dirty politics that I wonder how work gets done here. 2. I never laughed when I was here, the atmosphere is just so stressful, when is the next cut coming, who will go, is the company going to be there tomorrow.... 3. Growth is next to minimal and as someone else has sadi, salary is a big joke. 4. The company doesnt have a direction. Decisions are taken without any aim. 5. New ideas are not encouraged and are in fact brutally crushed.
