A company watching money only

Design engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good payment, good stock price

Cons

No good management in some group. Upper management only cares money and stock. Company rules are used to punish good employees who follow rules and work professionally. Mangers who cheated and bully are covered by HR. Normal civil freedom to communicate with people could be limited by the company with ridiculous reason. Employees electronic device could be monitored including your personal cellphone. Some personal information could be used by some managers to threaten people.

You are just a number

Sales

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary is a few percent above average

Cons

Zero company culture. You are just a number that is hired to do a task, no one cares about anything else. There is no career progression. There is zero support from management, you are hired to do your job and if you need help you need to look elsewhere. The management has no backbone either and won't stand up for its team.

Business Outlook

Pros

Huge company with different teams and projects. Really depends on the team you are working in

Cons

Some people are not able to do their work and were promoted just because of loyalty (Stay with the company for a long time). People who try to be a friend with managers are more valuable in the company than people who do the real job.
