Pros

For a long time employee; good pay and vacation time

Cons

Management really making bad decisions financially. They do not seem to be looking to a long term direction. There are many VPs with high salaries; decisions about renting space in a high rent district when they owned a building; sales team being brought to Budapest when company is losing money. Client confidence is being lost and this reflects in sales.

Pros

None that i can think of

Cons

Although they talk about being a top place to work nothing is ever done to improve working conditions. People are disposed of regularly but never replaced so the work load is building higher all the time. there is no work life balance concern at all( a senior VP telling rank and file employees that they need to be willing to say no to assignments or requests from their superiors doesn't count). There seems to be no loyalty from the company to long time employees either.
