Large financial secure company.

Cons

old fashion politics i.e. family/friends get promoted; strictly hierarchial management setup with very limited options for upward career mobility if not politically aligned.

Pros

You get a relatively ok work/life balance and there are some good apples. Even though most of the good ones are leaving.

Cons

Low pay, horrible benefits, and upper management are the most corrupt/political people I have ever worked for. If you take a job here, expect a bunch of clicks of people. All of which bad mouth the other groups.

Pros

They are willing to hire the mature worker (50+)

Cons

- If you are a marketing or marcom professional, there are very few jobs available unless you have an engineering degree. Jobs are dead ends too without the engineering degree. - To achieve Director level, you need an engineering degree, and masters from a top 10 school. They would rather hire someone with that background in any field rather than someone with experience in field for the role. - The company has just recently started marketing to end users with very small budgets. Marketing is at the 101 level if you are even able to to that. Product managers have been handling it with spurts now and then but nothing consistent. The philosophy has been to throw it at the wall and see what sticks.
