Pros

Good place to work for the most part. There are a lot of challenging projects due to the integration which help one grow within the company and get integration experience.

Cons

Company lays off people without looking at the overall long term impact this results. Its all about numbers and saving the company $$. Most of the subject matter experts were laid off and the non experts are left to pick up the pieces, they upper management wonders why our numbers aren't good.

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is a progressive high tech company that just doesn't pay enough for the dedication and skills required for the job. The constant changing upper management and corporate philosophy misunderstanding is a problem.

Cons

Constantly changing unstable management. Very poor pay for dedication required. Long hours that change often leaving little room for personal life.
