Pros

I worked here for 2 years before the merger and life was great. Lots of interesting work to do. It was a great environment with very little drama and politics. After the merger, things have changed and most of the changes are not favorable.

Cons

There was a lot of people that were let go and others that chose to go. There was a major management shuffle and then some identity issues. There are major egos now, politics and the managers play favorites. The turnover is higher than it has ever been. In my department, colleagues are encouraged to sabotage each other and the undercurrent is vicious. The new middle management finds a way every day to communicate why all the way that we conduct business are "wrong" in their view point, from the processes to the equipment used. No efforts are made to change anything and saying anything is support of the company is quietly discouraged which is heartbreaking. HR is silent on the issue.

Mostly incompetent management starting at the Supervisor level.

Pros

The Pros are certainly that the paycheck was a little above industry average and always coming on time.

Cons

It appears that entire departments are just trying to find ways to cut a dime from your expense check. The so called supervisor are just puppets of the department manager (if you're not a puppet you will never be considered for a promotion). The average supervisor has no clue about your work but still feels that he has to interfere with it.
