Constant pressure to reduce headcount, continuous layoffs and a focus on shareholder value instead of making the company

Business Outlook

Pros

Potentially interesting technology and applications to work on, company has no debt, if you are in one of the semi-autonomous groups , then your work life is pretty good. Layoff benefits are not bad

Cons

Constant layoffs, and depending on department either in large blocks as in traditional layoffs or ongoing, continuous, layoffs of one and two people per week. Depressed work force that is always behind the curve.

Business Outlook

Pros

Offers some flexibility, creativity and good people to work with, dynamic working environment. Like the multiple projects and everyday is different with new challenges. It is a team oriented environment.

Cons

Inconsistency, non-strategic layoffs, loss of top talent, loss of some good benefits, high stress environment, limited to no promotional opportunities. Projects are often not planned out well and lack long term vision, therefore not executed as efficiently or as effective as they could be. Duplicative efforts across multiple teams.
