Poor morale and politics

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There are some good people who know how to treat people decently and want to try to create a decent work environment. Pay is good.

Cons

The politics are thick. Being smart, hard working and dedicated isn't enough. If you are not willing to play games and "manage upwards" or aren't part of the club of people who have been there for years, you'll have difficulty carving out a career. Blaming and finger pointing culture. Morale is often low. Cynicism is a virtue.
