Pros

Great salary, onsite hair salon, store & gym--that's about it.

Cons

Pretty much all else; a once great workplace brought to its knees by the ill-fated merger with Astra; continuous reorganization, Byzantine layers of bureaucracy, nonsensical cost-cutting (to the point of workers' having to scrounge for basic office supplies, no $ for professional development of any kind, virtually all business travel cut for anyone outside of upper, upper management), leaders who are blatant in their disregard for employees, promotions doled out to the undeserving, constant shuffling of employees from building to building (8 different offices/cubes in 10 years), the worst IT department in the business, outsourcing of major functions, an essentially worthless HR department, no pipeline to speak of (and horrible mishandling of existing products by ineffective marketing staff), no opportunity for advancement, a pervasively toxic culture with fearful, unhappy employees, a horrible cafeteria with surly staff, bad food, and cheesy cutlery and napkins

Pros

There is nothing positive to say about a company engaged in brutalizing it's workers

Cons

Company is out to control and bully it's staff. Discrimination is a big part of corporate culture. Company utilizes psychological warfare on it's employees to break them down. They have the attitude that they can do as they please in the United States and suffer little or no retribution. The government should investigate this operation and see exactly where laws are being violated and not allow them to operate on our shores unless they conform to United States laws.
