Pros

Strong following on PMI project management practices Lots of people to learn from among the organization

Cons

Poor use of resources across the company Lots of redundant groups that shouldn't exist Extremely stressful if you are in engineering, probably the only group that does heavy lifting on the office side of the company Poor promotion/salary ladder - it's tenure based despite them telling you they will use merit as a factor Lots of people just coast there and create issues to justify their job

Going downhill. . . Fast!

Pros

Starting pay is pretty good but benefits and long term viability are terrible.

Cons

It's no longer the friendly career-minded place to work. My honest advice is to stay away unless you are desperate for a job. Upper management do not care about employees at all; once they reach a certain level in the company, the aim is self-preservation.

Not as good as it used to be

Pros

Great pay, benefits, and depending on what department you're in, good work/life balance. Post layoff atmosphere feels like our jobs are not in constant jeopardy like in previous years.

Cons

Very little chance of advancement in the near future due to recent layoffs. The company does not like to innovate as it is very risk adverse and very rarely wants to change from the status quo.
