On a steady decline.

Pros

There are some great people who work here and it was a privilege getting to know them and learn from them. Somewhat flexible hours.

Cons

Upper management and the execs are a nightmare. Micromanaging at its finest. Raises are a joke unless you are a part of the 'elite', i.e. the rich get richer. You will never be praised for a job well done but you'll surely hear about any minor mistake that you make. The 'little guy' isn't appreciated at all even though they're doing the bulk of the grunt work. The company culture is moving in the wrong direction. Complaints are not taken seriously

Pros

Decent salaries once as long as you do not look at your wages as on a per hour worked basis. Also you do get a chance to work with a variety of tools.

Cons

Some of the worst management one could find in a 100 million dollar + company. The failure of management exists on every level up to and including the executive staff who can not even bother to come by a remote office when they are in the area. Local managers play the game of, who to put on a PIP this week. No one is safe unless you are in the favored group of the month. It is so bad that someone who may have just been promoted or received a merit raise, could be on a PIP a month later. Of course that same PIP may not have any measurable metrics as part of it, and if you are truly lucky, you will be allowed to train your replacement as you try to improve. The phrase penny wise and dollar foolish as been completely missed by this company as the investment group pulls the strings. They will fly the entire management group across country for a week of meetings (including the admin), but can not spare the change for sodas or water in the office, that used to be provided but it was then decided that they could not afford such an expense. It is so bad that they will not even pay $10 to keep the lights on past 6pm. If you are looking to come aboard as an individual contributor, be ready to work 60+ hours a week as standard and be sold out at a moments notice if your salary gets to high.
