It is a great place to coast to retirement.

Pros

The pay is better than average for the level of work. If you are looking to get paid and not to grow your career and you are just looking to coast into retirement, then this is the place for you.

Cons

Not much opportunity for career growth in the IS/IT departments. Do not expect to add any new skills to your portfolio. Also bring hand sanitizer as a lot of male employees (incl.the head of R&D) do not was their hands after using the loo.

Pros

The employees are outstanding, These folks are good at what they do and love what they do. Their only obstacle is management. They are bright, ethical, engaging, and have their priorities in place. They care about their work, their customers and each other. The only reason most stay.

Cons

Management. Particularly in support and training. They employ management by fear and micromanagement techniques to a toxic level. Team members are overwork and underpaid, but most of all unappreciated and are simply a means to an end. There is no opportunity for advancement or change. Only the 1% of "what didn't go right" is emphasized, and never a mention of the 99% that did. The entire company suffers from poor management, mostly because they are pressured from above. This company provides an oppressive environment. Raises are minimal and recognition almost non existant. Coming in, it looks like a great opportunity, unfortunately, that is too short lived. If you are a college grad, they are looking for you , unfortunately, I am not convinced you will set up for success. If you have other opportunities, consider all your options.

Borders on hostile work environment

Pros

Like most people say, great employees with huge depth of experience but most of those are gone by now.

Cons

New CEO was initially effective in bringing order in a chaotic company. But he, and the other management he packed the company with lack the basic skills to lead and motivate people. Paranoia rules. There are often multiple, parallel, conflicting initiatives underway and everything is controlled from the top. Top management yells and curses in meetings.
