Unethical, poorly managed company

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

competitive salary and free lunch available

Cons

Poor management, no room for advancement, terrible 401k plan (0.25% match), and company is handling a potential product recall in a completely unethical way. Black Box has known about faulty wall mount cabinets for months, and despite repeated catastrophic failures in the field, refuses to release a statement to customers and distributors about the issue.

Pros

The Box continues to let go the good people, so we pick them up when they become available.

Cons

The Box will retain all of the lazy, incompetent people. The reason? Because they cannot function in the real world and can be manipulated, like puppets, to make that all important BOTTOM LINE, look good.

Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting products and good experience

Cons

This is a layoff-happy company. No matter how hard you try, you will never get promoted unless you are in tight with the boss or know someone. You can have a degree, certifications or PHD yet a schmo off the street with no credentials will get promoted before you. Be prepared to get a stupid email every day to "pick it up" or you will not get a measly bonus and may be on the list to lose your job.
