- The company has major cultural issues that make it difficult to work and be productive (e.g. managers not on the same page, credit-seeking/stealing, limited knowledge of subject matter, always trying to one-up one another, very hostile environment at work, etc.)
- Pay among men and women differs considerably regardless of knowledge or experience; many times the men with less experience in an "easier" field will earn more than the women with considerable experience in a more difficult subject matter
- Limited room for growth and upward momentum: again, not much room for women to move up in the company and the majority of managers and supervisors are men, however I imagine it's hard for anyone to get a promotion at any level
- Promotions, when given, are also not accompanied by any raise in salary: most employees who are promoted do not see any increase in salary even though duties often accumulate and exceed what was originally expected
- Lay-offs are very common, especially since the buy-out and tend to target specific departments (often times whole departments are laid off all at once)
- Many times management makes it hard for various departments to do their job by steam-rolling them or blocking them from finding projects to work on
- All time must be "sold" or directly related to an on-going job in order to count; if you're not "sold" you're going to be sent home without pay
