Upper mgmt lacks proper Vision

Senior engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent salary and benefits.

Cons

Poor raises when ranked highly. Management clearly lacks vision on where to the future needs to go. Only concerned with daily fires. Appears the only way to advance in this company is to move into management forcing the highly technical, strong troubleshooters away. This company has way to many managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good cafeteria that's the only pro that I found working here for 4 years.

Cons

Yearly review is a joke good luck on getting a cost of living raise even. Management is the most corrupt I have ever seen. Different ethnic groups will climb the ladder here and you will have no visibility if you're from certain ethnic groups. Some groups are very immature throwing items around in rooms like 5 year olds better wear a flak jacket working here. When you talk to HR they will try to fire you rather than fixing the situation. This job has a very high turnover rate beware!!!!
