      No chance for impactful work; majority of managers don't know how to manage

      Pros

      Great pay. Everyone seems highly qualified for the work they're doing. Longevity for engineers. They're going through many (good) changes in differentiating themselves.

      Cons

      Too much politicking, particularly in middle management. Managers don't nurture subordinates (give growth opportunities, mentorship, assign the right kind of work). A lot of internal strife. C-level business leaders are either oblivious to it all or ignoring it.

      Limited career growth & internal politics

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      CEO tries hard. Lots of improvement from Fister days but still a long way to go. Great opportunities to grow if in strong business unit and caring manager.

      Cons

      Management do not care about people, only care about looking good. Not about how good you are technically, all about who you know and who likes you. Focus on results is good but not at any cost... Poor work-life balance, echoed by others. If in weak product line, be prepared to be the scape-goat and become a casualty of BU agenda.
