Pros

- It's big so it'll take a long time to fall completely - It's big so poor performers can hide easily

Cons

- For a big "tech" company, benefits are below average to average; employees footing alot of medical bills - Complete lack of integration among various acquisitions, different policies and tools depending on which legacy companies you came in as - Horrendous acquisitions which resulted in killing off dozens of products and eating those costs

Worst run HR department

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Some Good people left

Cons

Worst run HR department toxic to say the least. Cold heartless and it’s being run into the ground. There is nothing to be proud of here. HR is full of incompetent people starting from the top. Total inequality in pay and promotions are given for political reasons and not to those who are deserving. Be very aware before joining this company. Most good people have been laid off. HR is now full of very cold and uncaring people.

Pros

Onsite gas delivery, car detailing. That’s it.

Cons

Management is the worst. Political. They lay off incredibly good, hard workers (every other week!) and keep the ones who suck up and do little to no actual work. They have a million systems and no one is aligned. They spend entirely too much money on people traveling up and down the coast for one-hour meetings. They make terrible business and acquisition decisions.
