Pros
- Sub-org genuinely has interest in employees (yet doesn't really have a grasp of the business or the power to do anything) - Still has a decent tuition reimbursement plan
Cons
- I have experienced terrible bosses I thought were reserved for cartoons and movies. As in, "even though your work is done, you need to sit here until 8PM just in case (add expletives wherever)" ... while the boss is at home. - Too many people have BSed their way into middle management; this leads to a lot of talking and minimal progress... then later to dumping blame and work on lower level employees - Constant condescending attitudes, bred by the policy: if you act toughly you will probably get promoted - Get a good salary upfront because the yearly review tool is a meaningless joke and you're going to probably get a 1% increase - No titles due to restructuring. That is correct -- I have gone almost a year without a job title. No better way to make an employee feel like a number. - No control over career path (not that there is a career path) - Took away funding for training ... so you better enjoy the BS they have you doing as staff augmentation on your project (that is now your ambition)
