Business Outlook

Pros

The offices aren't too shabby. Doesn't hurt that there's a cafeteria and gym

Cons

Specific to the technical accounting group - favoritism, racism, and questionable supervisor subordinate relationships resulting in illogical promotions run rampant in this group. Really makes you wonder whether the degree of politics found in this group is common in other companies as well. Your future in this group depends solely on a few bad apples who engage in management conduct that could potentially serve as grounds for a law suit.

Good company (if it is not getting acquired)

Business Outlook

Pros

Experienced, helpful and friendly colleagues to work with Flexible vacation (some people in busy teams view this as cons) Good benefits including 2-year-lock ESPP, good health plan, etc. (401k match not so good)

Cons

Will be acquired by Avago, which has a much lower rating on glassdoor; Also, after the acquisition, it is likely that the good benefits mentioned above will all be gone; So we should keep an eye on how the acquisition would proceed.
