      Pros

      benefits flexible hours low key, culture is still exist depending on the site you work at

      Cons

      cut cost, management is no longer there to support you. The ability to help or develop the individual is no longer exist. 'They throw you under the bus and let you die. It's all about cover the management "CYA' but they will take your job and make it theirs. No credits or appreciation, bonuses no longer exists, more layers than it should have been. NO development plans for employee or recognition for job well done.

      Great benefits, but overly political and limited career growth opportunities

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice perks such as the Genenbus, subsidized benefits, abundance of free food. Fellow co-workers - non-management - are very pleasant and knowledgeable.

      Cons

      1. Hiring of people at below market salary and slow to promote a. constant claim of "business need" to warrant promotions, but with a convenient non-recognition of employee satisfaction being a substantial part of business need. 2. Line managers more interested in own projects than managing their own staff 3. Cash bonuses for recognition of good work are capped without sufficient explanation as to why
