Excellent compensation, frustrating cultural flaws.

Pros

Some of the highest compensation packages in the Memphis area. Don't be afraid to ask. Depending on department, work-life balance is exceptional. Most individual contributors you encounter will be incredibly helpful and affable. Cross-department collaboration is not unheard of.

Cons

Over the last 7 years, there as been a MASSIVE exodus of expertise, and the positions have been filled with recent college grads in over their heads. It's ineffective and unfair to everyone. The "work-life balance" thing comes at a price: Layoffs. EVERY YEAR. Layoffs. And every year, it's the individual contributors who are targeted. There are entirely too many layers to "management." It's like a 10-transition point shaded spectrum of "who's doing what, again?" These layers are too often filled with people who lack the necessary expertise to perform their function competently, and none of them seem capable of telling you there's anything you can improve on until it's "too late."

Pros

Great CEO. Pushes the company in the right direction.Good benefits

Cons

Favoritism. Can only refer to the Littleton MA site. People get promoted based on their relationships with the site leader and not by their skills.
