Working here has left a bitter taste in my mouth.
Pros
-The people you work with, very friendly. -Great benefits. -You can have a stress free 9-5 job if you play your cards right. -Happy hours and chair massages to keep you docile and content. Although you're not really expected to enjoy yourself. It's all for show. -Tons of snacks -Very nice office
Cons
-The people you work for, incompetent and outdated depending on which department you work for. -Crappy compensation. -You can get away with a LOT of slacking off. Believe me, I've seen my fair share of slackers in the office and there is no shortage. Oddly enough, these people seem to be the ones who get rewarded the most. The rich get richer. -Constant acquisitions where everything is fun and great for a while. Then the honeymoon phase is over and management decides to restructure and then heads roll. Their strategy? Cut the most hard working/most expensive employee there, only to rehire for that position a couple months down the line because they bit off more than they could chew resulting in a loss of knowledge transfer and optimum efficiency. -This company's culture struggles to be hip and innovative yet it's run by people who think this is still the 90's. It's like a constant struggle between good and evil and the side that doesn't want to adapt, also happens to be the side that doesn't want to embrace change and progress for the sake of keeping their jobs. -Constant issues with customer satisfaction due to the inevitable decline in the quality of services. Patch after patch to fix these issues, never wanting to address the underlying root problem. I have to ask, would you like to work on a product that has 20 bandages on it? -Favortism. Doesn't matter how hard you work if you're not the favorite.
