Business Outlook

Pros

Challenging work, leader in the industry, good benefits, many people that care, opportunity to succeed

Cons

Actions not matching the message from senior management. Lots of talk about pay-for performance, work life balance and so on but as someone who exceeded expectations in 2012, my raise was less than 3%. I've heard similar stories from others. Major push to cut costs in going public, and work expected to be absorbed by others
