Pros

Worker bees are friendly. My old office folks are nice. My commute was easy New collaborative tolols coming. Pros are very thin

Cons

Pay is below national norms They expect to loose 20% of staff every year Your management sells put and are told "nothing wil change" and they are naive or vulnerable enough to believe it Then the layoffs and pay cuts come. Then the structure changes so design is second or third fiddle to profits The stock market is short selling this stock because the business model of buying other firms cutting past the bone and then buying the next one doesn't work It is run by a bully who the other leaders are afraid of (not the nice Canadian CEO) They buy you for what you bring to them. It is a one way street. Our leaders are bailing out now that their agreements let them. Time to get the resume out. Thank goodness the market is picking up

Pros

Location of office is close to freeway

Cons

Managment lacks leadership skills and mentorship. Lack of opportunity to grow, lack of promotions, and adequate pay or raises for staff and technicians. Office is run by males, very little opportunity for women to grow. No female project managers in office. Lack of promotion within.

Pros

A few people who are left considered "lowly" by management (PM's on down).

Cons

Pretty much everything at this company is negative. People are treated very poorly. Due to high layoffs (and those who just leave) most people above staff level, and some at are afraid to share information. It is the most back stabbing unethical office I have ever worked. If you truly interview here ask to talk to people in the office or just walk around the tension is very thick. Ask about the turnover rate or how long anyone has been there. You will be hard pressed to find someone over 1yr....
