A lot of change and turmoil

Business Outlook

Pros

Salaries are very competitive with good benefits, bonus structure and stock plans. Most of the people there are great.

Cons

Way too much politicking and land grabbing. CEO changed during my time there, so there was a huge change in executive management. That created a lot of turmoil throughout the company. The CEO announcing right after he started that they would cut cost by $100M turned the place into a revolving door for individual contributors.
