Benefits are good but that's about it!

Business Outlook

Pros

PTO, benefits, on-site pharmacy, very nice building and....that's it.

Cons

The pay is horrible and well below industry average. Upper management does not care about you unless you are a brown noser. In fact most won't even speak to you. Forget about getting a promotion too if you aren't friends with the hiring manager. It's all about who you know and not what you know here. If you don't look and dress like a model they treat you as if you are worthless. They have "re-orgs" every year and a half or so. Seems like they always move the good ones out and keep the idiots. Talent management is also a joke as is HR. Don't expect them to be there for you if you have an issue.

Started off great but after a number of reorganizations it fell off quickly

Business Outlook

Pros

R&D/Product Development was filled with great leadership that cared for the individual and continuously looked to develop individuals. After a major reorganization,the new leadership got rid of those managers and kept the ones that lacked any real development skills.

Cons

Leadership was a revolving door and the main cause of that is the Quality group. Instead of being a support functions they were throwing up road blocks for anyone outside of their group. Most of these road blocks were promises that were way overblown because of their lack of knowledge of the industry.
