      Good money if you are best friends with an upper manager.

      Pros

      Coworkers were decent until all of the backstabbing came in when the layoffs started. Right after Splinter became CEO.

      Cons

      Management - poor leadership. Trust is something the employee is supposed to have for the manger - do not expect reciprocation. Morale of employees is nonexistent.

      Pros

      This used to be a great company. Compensation is satisfactory. First level management is good and recognizes good work.

      Cons

      Constant outsourcing. Constant fear of layoffs / lack of job security. Poor decisions by upper management. Inter-department finger pointing / competition. Too many duplicated efforts by different departments. Mike Splinter is in charge. Difficult to get promotion to the next level.

      Strong history, weak present-day execution.

      Pros

      Position allows for flexible hours. Nice people on the lower-levels of the food chain. As a contractor, pay is decent.

      Cons

      Business Units don't communicate well, if at all, with each other. No understanding how outsourcing affects morale of domestic employees. Many outsourced employees have little-to-no command of English language...hard to coordinate.
