Pros

Place to log time if you need a paycheck. Play along with the politics don't worry about working hard as that is not the variable that contributes to people getting laid off and reviewing raises. So go ahead and screw off and quit before they lay you off and get another job ASAP. Now If you're untalented and love politics then this is your place you have found your home . If your past employers gave you poor reviews you didn't survive you will here just suck up to your manager and tell him how great he/she is. The reality is most of the managers here we're good at one point about six years ago five years ago they have all left and all the poor performers from other companies are here all the way up To the CEO

Cons

totally clueless Sr VP's ncluding CEO looking to protect their fat incomes and keep yours down ..If this was a public company and not private equity owned the CEO would've been walked out of the building years ago due to poor performance and Execuitve turnover...

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
