Pros

They've got a gym and cafeteria on-site, and haven't axed the tuition reimbursement program yet. Free coffee (for now).

Cons

To name a few: More layoffs - Another 120 employees were let go this week even though the company forecast seems to be improving. The timing (right before bonus season), and significant amount of money spent on a new logo probably had something to do with it. Infrequent, unsubstantial raises - Only just barely above cost of living increases. New hires from outside the company for the same position consistently make more than people promoted from within. Outdated, specialized software/tools make it difficult to keep skills current, keep boredom at bay.

Pros

Some very good people and even a handful of very good middle managers. Work hours are reasonable if you work in the right department. Some get free cowboys boots.

Cons

Shameless self-promoters fast tracked for promotion and recognition. Poor, destructive employees retained and promoted, good employees quit, often to less paying jobs just to escape. No peer reviews to filter out above. Obscene non-compete agreement strangles career opportunities for individual contributors. Long standing employees fired and then told to sign 1 year non-compete or not receive severance pittance. Executive management does not walk the talk. Executive hypocrisy - 2% cap on raises across the board, while CEO buys new GulfStream jet and uses it for personal trips. No golden parachutes for individual contributors. And on and on ... more to come in comments section.

Pros

Steady paycheck Good health insurance Employee Gym Cafeteria

Cons

The manager/supervisors in my department are clueless on how to motivate and engage their employees. Instead of admitting it and trying to change the situation they blame the employees. The supervisors lack the basic knowledge needed to support their staff and often make huge mistakes, making the staff jump through hoops to fix their poor decisions. They are however very good at cruising the hallways and documenting who isn't at their desks. It is my understanding that this type of "leadership" is rampant throughout the company, which explains the large turnover. I am sure the CEO has encouraged this type of "leadership". They don't care if people are unhappy and even told our entire department this in a "motivational" meeting. Stay away from this company unless you enjoy being micromanged, documented and your career either destroyed or die a slow death.
