Pros

Many talented and driven employees. Work/Life balance is wonderful and why people are staying.

Cons

Top tier management lack leadership skills and ability to implement or follow through on what they claim are their plans. Pay has remained stagnant for years. Last year's increase in pay was 1% for the very top performers. Bonuses didn't exist this year and last year's were pitiful as well.

Business Outlook

Pros

- flexible hours - standard benefits

Cons

- 30%+ BELOW standard market salary - performance review is a joke, do not expect more than 2% annual adjustments (if you are lucky) and/or bonus - lost onshore staffs are not replaced, extra workload is distributed to those unfortunate existing staffs meanwhile without readjusting deadlines to more reasonable values - new core flagship products are mainly developed by incompetent outsource groups across the other side of the globe and without proper management and assessment - absolutely NO career advancement - there are more C/D levels combined than the actual product workers - unrealistic deadlines while the whole company is clearly understaffed, even with the outsource groups accounted for - HR is virtually nonexistent, company will do nothing to keep talents
