Pros

Great people, good benefits, okay compensation, challenging workload.

Cons

Each stressful quarter is filled with more of what we should be doing better. You do just that bringing measurable results but your job is still shipped to India. Validation gone. Production scadooosh. Contracts. Finance. Even support.

Run Far Away

Pros

Some departments have great people to work with. Many have left or been let go.

Cons

What used to be a great place to work is now a nightmare. Expect that the company will be off shoring all their resources as they continue to down size. They call it Margin Acceleration. It should be called Stock Price fixing. It is all they care about now. Some of the managers treat people like pawns in a chess game. And take credit for things they were absent for till the end. Some are even abusive.
