Sweat Shop that works hard and not smart.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay if you politically align yourself with a manager who gives you a non-intellectual job. i.e. process person vs create something from nothing.

Cons

Classical pull the money to the top company. Layoffs were as predictable as a 5ft supermodel. Love people who don't question or challenge authority. Anti-american corporation. Very disrespectful of technical people from Engineering, Math, Science backgrounds. Sweat shop Engineers keep away from this company. You fit into a slot of empty career objectives just serving a 401k carrot. Make huge profits and just give the creative people breadcrumbs.
