Pros

Large company, very diverse culture. Not much more good thing I can say about it.

Cons

Zero transparency between management and employees. New CEO is basically removing position through attrition. Long hours with little benefit. Bonus does not reflect how hard you work. Yearly performance review is a joke, basically company moto is, an average rating is a great rating. Perfect reason to give you less than 1% raise. Yea, after 3 years of working here, I basically lost about 10% of my salary through inflection.

Pros

Decent pay. Not much else.

Cons

No lunch break, no breaks in general, can’t go to the bathroom for hours on end, the managers’ daughter gets special treatment because her mother is in charge. Constant criticism and unfair treatment.
