Pros

Decent salary Seems as though there can't be a meeting without food (good food)

Cons

Middle managers with no experience in their field or as a manager, so they are threatened by competence, reward sycophants, and demand blind support of the status quo. No new idea is a good idea because it implies you think you know more than your boss or you're just a trouble maker/malcontent. "Family culture" just means your boss is the parent and you are the powerless child - go along with whatever your boss considers family traditions, rituals, or fun, or risk being labeled a problem child who needs to shape up or ship out. No work-life balance - plan to eat at your desk and don't worry about rush hour because you'll be going home long after rush hour is over. No way to get promoted - managers hire buddies from outside the company or (on rare occasion) advance their most ardent "yes man." Impossible working environment, because of "open" design and short, small cubicles - forget about being able to concentrate.

No apparent strategy, frequent layoffs

Pros

Pay is good, medical benefits are ok, work-life balance is decent, minimal holidays (7). Some teams have excellent cohesiveness, depending on who the manager is.

Cons

Some teams lack communication and cohesiveness. This company will tell you it's doing very well, and then at least once a year have a sudden and unexpected layoff. In 2016 they actually had two layoffs. Oddly enough, the middle managers that have been there many years always manage to avoid being laid off.

Constantly worried about being laid off. Tired of the constant reorganization.

Pros

Company recently spent a pretty penny on a new building. Decent open space concept, attempting to conform to modern concepts of work environments. The IT department became extremely efficient at clearing desk space when people leave ATS.

Cons

Constant reorganization. Manager names didn't mean much due to in a few months, the company would play organizational Yahtzee and you would get another motivational email of the new focus/direction. The company tried to implement lean six sigma methodology for a good 6 months, only to layoff the lean six sigma team when change didn't come fast enough. I, along with several other coworkers, were always worried about being in the next wave of layoffs. You would walk into work only to notice a whole department has vanished due to out sourcing. It was hard not to ask yourself if you were next on the chopping block. Another issue was the lack of career growth. If you truly wanted to advance in your pay/career, you would be forced to look outside the company. When you put in your two weeks, your exit interview consists of going to survey monkey. Laughable.
