A Toxic Environment!

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

unfortunately not too many left

Cons

Over the past 2 years the working environment has significantly deteriorated, as the company failed to execute on a growth strategy. There are many fundamental issues, expenses are out of control, and while the company is squeezing on employees ( another massive layoff is coming shortly) additional levels of senior management and executives have been added. The company has done a good job acquiring other companies but has done a poor job of integrating them. Once acquired and integrated to CA, the performance of these acquisitions declined significantly. Despite some of the positive company reviews you may read and the company bragging about some of the “workplace excellence” awards, it is a toxic environment, employees are pressure to respond to employee surveys that claimed to be anonymous but there is a clear trend of employees raising issues being demoted and/or terminated . It used to be a great company to work for but no longer is.

Cannot shrink your way to success

Pros

Employees are well compensated with a good benefits package Travel policies are not draconian as they were in the distant past Customers really depend on key products and the engineering talent is amazing what is left of it on those mission critical high revenue products

Cons

Job cuts twice a year since 2000 have destroyed morale and trust. The cuts seem more and more capricious or purely focused on cutting the most expensive employees. These have not been about removing dead wood for years. Management more concerned with protecting themselves from blame for past bad decisions than accepting input from employees and customers on products and strategic direction that was deemed unacceptable (CA CHORUS for the mainframe is now laughable) Empty and shrinking offices not a fun place to work in
