Pros

-First promotion not difficult (because they hire you at one grade below their desired level), but opportunities limited after that. -Started as a relaxed, casual, West Coast style work environment. -Started as a meritocracy—work hard, rewarded well. -Good initial pay, but doesn’t catch up with market.

Cons

-In recent years, it has turned into a stiff, East Coast style work environment. Increasingly restrictive personnel policies. -Strong emphasis on presenteeism. Coworkers often make complaints to management about other coworkers for the most trivial things. -“Yes” people get promoted. People who offer feedback don’t. -Local management not open to new ideas. Highly restrictive work culture, lots of politics. -No flexibility or accommodation in working hours or telecommuting arrangements -Performance review system is bogus. All performance scores are assigned and approved by all levels of management and HR without your input. You can only agree or disagree with the review when it comes back to you.
