Big scale layoff recently

Software quality engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Careful and detailed training, might be a good start point to learn about the industry, actually the employees are nice people.

Cons

A big scale layoff to the newly recruited employee. The company does not seem to care about its reputation when they let go people like this. University SHOULD NOT introduce the company to career fair any more UNLESS agreements can be reached to protect the students. This kind of thing should not happen, it shows the company's attitudes on the employee.

Pros

Great products and it's great working with so many smart people. Salaries are good but could be improved. Love the gym and lounge.

Cons

Invest more in the people with training /education reimbursement, stock ownership programs, etc. Increase salaries to stay competitive. Overall is good though.
