No professionalism and no respect

Pros

If you do not mind to be a number and waste company's money and time to please your manager is a good place to stay

Cons

No chance to go anywhere if you are not the favorite one - being a favorite one is not based on competency or professionalism of course! - and if you do not produce expected results

Pros

Fair compensation and fair benefits

Cons

- Constantly shifting priorities while everything is a priority - Global nature of the organization results in constantly receiving and responding emails while some regions seem to have more holidays than others - Support organizations may not be in the same time zone so getting answers to urgent questions have to wait until others are back from holidays or back in the office the next day. - Not easy to transition from one organization to another or one manager to another. You have to have a really good manager or be in a really good organization for this to happen.

Pros

Great company benefits, great company goals, life-changing medicines, good pay, a few, and i mean very few good people.

Cons

awful, toxic, pugnacius, repulsive people and environment. Management has lost control or they do not care. people are always leaving, no one says many good things about that place. They are fixated on metrics and random BS without focusing on tasks at hand. Too much nepotism, the morale is terrible, the day to day work environment is NOXIOUS! AVOID THIS PLACE!
