Business Outlook

Pros

TLDR: Easy, Nice People, Decent Pay, Lots of Lazy People, Stable. If I was older and wanted to settle down this is a great workplace. I Interned here for two years, and the overall response I got from the people in the company I looked up to most was: "Work somewhere else if you are at all ambitious." It seemed like a lot of people were working on projects for a nonexistent user base (5-20 people), and if you weren't lucky enough to get assigned to a profitable section of the company, your work had no impact. Take what you want from this but I want a good fit.

Cons

Slow, Boring, Lots of Redundant Employees

Pros

The company picks right business to invest

Cons

supervisor is not interested in distinguishing good, capable, and hard work employee, which leaves productive employees frustration and less motivated. Promote people based on the perceived "leadership", not much based on the knowledge, productivity, and behavior
