Pros

Good benefits and people hired tent to be top notch. Efforts made at corporate level to present a good image for family balance. No shortage on investment in technology, just not well focused.

Cons

Seems what was a great company is now a good company. Cutting back on perks, extras for staff. Management lacks a vision. Good portion of in fighting between teams. Some people just do the minimum since they can. Only promotions are given to the favorites. A place where careers come to get stale. Staff is overworked despite the work/life claims.

Pros

Essentially a great product with a huge amount of potential. There are elements within the company that are trying to drag it into the late 20th (yes, 20th) century.

Cons

Where to start? Ultimately the company is a fiefdom. Each regional area is then a separate sub-fiefdom. The regional areas do well as long as they realise that their autonomy stretches only as far as babysitting the region for the Global CEO. Working in the UK office I have experienced "SAS Culture" at it's highest and lowest. A very political atmosphere where a "nose clean" and "head down" approach cuts more than attempting to drive change. Any change that does make it past immediate management hits the glass ceiling of the US and goes nowhere. Where once innovation was encouraged, now people just try to stay out of the sights of predatory management and have done unto them. The company refuses to exit adolescence and, as such, will most likely be consumed when Dr Goodnight finally leaves.
