CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good compared with other companies.

Cons

The company is broken into different divisions. Basically, the divisions are small individual departments. That causes duplicate positions across departments.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice coworkers and good projects.

Cons

Management continually ices good projects with good results to stop bad projects from bleeding. Entire company will grind to a halt once or twice a year because the C-suite is worried about how some numbers look, even though bookings are solid. Only willing to invest in R&D if it's not their money. Pay is not competitive and you will have to strongarm them for cost of living increases.

Employees lived in fear

Software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Started with this company a few years back and anyone and everything was positive, not anymore! Seemed like the CEO has a goal to make everyone's live very hard.

Cons

The CEO cursed at his employees and treated them with no respect, he listened to gossip rather that fact and accused his employees of certain things without having proof. Employees lived in fear of losing their job on weekly if not daily basis due to the threats he's constantly making.
