The corporate politics are unbelievable

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits and very competitive compensation.

Cons

There are few opportunities for advancement. The management is divided up into fiefdoms and the politics are incredible. You have to be ninja-level in corporate politics to survive there. Also, there are far too many layers of bureaucracy to get anything accomplished. Innovation is truly stifled.

Pros

Good pay, but no stability, they follow the fire and fire policy, you can get hired and then get fired within 1 year,

Cons

Unstable, a lot of unneeded expenses , fire and hire & hire and fire policy...think 100 time before you join, look for stability not the money.

Meh...

Business Outlook

Pros

Innovative products, future thinking vision... on the product team level.

Cons

Upper management lacks the nuts and bolts common sense you see at other 30+ year old companies. They also seem to lack a clear vision for the future and rarely share out their decisions. Lots of HIPPO design thinking still in place holding back product teams.
