Pros

Good people, good pay, good bonus come to March. Company with good mission.

Cons

re-org after re-org the good, leadership don't seem to know what they are doing, they change direction every September with a new re-org. The IT team is a disaster.

Another year? Another re-org

Pros

Nice facilities, competitive pay for some positions, matching 401K. There are some talented people and decent managers.

Cons

Can't seem to stay the course, with each new year there's new leadership and "new" strategy put in place. Most recent leadership seems to have the right customer focus, but time will tell. Each year and with each reorg, there is a morale busting cloud looming over employees as they are told layoffs are inevitable. Wears the workforce down and creates a culture of "manage through fear".

Pros

Great offices, good wellness programs, decent (not competitive) pay, bonuses some years. Really great co-workers for the most part. I was there about 10 years, still friends with a lot of folks I worked with.

Cons

Leadership was bad prior to the new CEO. It's a lot lot worse with the newest set of yahoos that are running the place. Their "employee engagement" programs are a joke. Not one manager I knew took is seriously. Poor decision making and brown nosing are how things are done. Oh - and lying. A lot of lying. I recommend ANYWHERE else to work, if you have any morals or decency.
