Pros

-Great perks and work/life balance. -People are great to work with and passionate. -Campus is being updated. -Innovation is encouraged and rewarded.

Cons

-Management makes all the decisions while employees have no say. -IMO my performance was not based on the quality of my work but based on the perception I was leaving from getting to work at 9:15 due to having a one year old with a wife in school and an hour commute, compared to the rest of my group all with stay-at-home moms. My reviews had nothing to do with my accomplishments. -Management called me in the middle of my vacation out of the country to tell me I was laid off. My group was given more funding for the year and then dissolved. -Needs to operate much more efficiently.

Pros

Autonomy earned by high performance. Winning is fun. Documented high performance and continuous YoY growth is rewarded. Therein is a safe harbor and enduring independence.

Cons

S-L-O-W to hold ineffective and corrupt executives accountable. Many are protected and coddled too long. Official org chart does not show who actually performs and does the work. "Title" wave of new big fluffy inflated titles that are in fact only lateral moves.

Pros

It is a job, and it pays money. They are flexible in giving days off with some notice. They provide hot drinks and breaks are paid.

Cons

Paying the same rate they did many years ago. Of course, the young ones don't know that and that is mostly what keeps this place running. Everything is about speed and quantity, while all they talk about at meetings is "quality". Supervisor is either never there, hanging with his buddies, or delegating to his 2nd in command who probably makes little more than I do,
