Pros

Low stress, easy work, most of the day's work can be completed in two hours. Above average work-life balance.

Cons

Work is boring and unchallenging. Twenty percent of the people are doing 80% of the work. The culture creates a workplace where some people use personal reasons as to why they cannot get work done, and you can't make people do any work because of the 'culture.' People complain that the salary isn't in line with other tech companies, but the salary is actually high for the amount of work being done. Promotions are based on who you know versus the work that you do.

Layoffs are healthy?

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Good people. Good benefits. Average pay.

Cons

When the CEO says, “[Layoffs are] a healthy thing that you have to do every once in awhile”, you can never feel secure in your job. Especially if layoffs aren’t based on what you are contributing and only to what your title is. What is the incentive to give your best if it is irrelevant?
