A great experience, stifled by poor management

Pros

Great people, overall. Benefits are very good. The new office is very nice. Certain select departments possess great opportunities and great managers.

Cons

When they say a few bad apples spoils the bunch, this would be a good example of that. For the most part the company tries, but hey are very very cheap on salary and raises just dont appears to happen.

Pros

The building is nice. Benefits are decent. Plenty of snack for eating all of your negative feelings about working here. Gain some antisocial skills.

Cons

Revolving door of fires, hires, and departures due to inefficient and uncaring leadership in GR. Usually feels like the department is kangaroo court tyrannized by a donut lawyer! Stick around long enough for someone else to take credit for your work. Then get pushed out before a promotion. Wash, rinse, repeat.
