Pros

Used to be a good place to work. Good pay and good culture. That all changed dramatically.

Cons

Company fired a couple hundred employees in 2015. Some very good people were let go while many incompetent ones remain. Much favoritism and some nepotism was involved. We remaining employees are expected to do much more work for less money. There were very few salaried cuts, and we are over-staffed with too many bosses who are tripping over each other and pushing us like slaves in order to impress someone. Very stressful environment and many of us are seeking other jobs.

Pros

Challenging, educational, had potential to become a long term job.

Cons

Will lay off everyone except those on Visas (France, Mexico). French company, looking out for the French employees. Walked American citizens out, gave those with Visa's a raise, bonus, etc. Should have learned French!
