Pros

Interesting technology. Good work life balance, as no one really knows what anyone does.

Cons

There is no trust in the company and most employees are very tired of management that seems confused and only interested in short term target delivery upwards. The main focus for many seems to be to lie low and avoid blame, not to build a sustainable business. A lot of yes-sayers without essential competence has been promoted to made up roles. The intranet homepage is nowadays only used for publishing propaganda and the really important information is not being communicated, employees rely on gossip to know what is happening. It is not surprising that the employee satisfaction survey has been cancelled.

Pros

Company has a nice long history

Cons

HR and new management is foreign and has no knowledge or understanding of local,state, federal laws or USA best business practice. Leadership is by fear. Tremendous distrust and dishonest management. Strong anti American sentiment by foreign managers. Terrible age and ethnic and nationality bias. If you are Caucasian American over 40, you will be overlooked and devalued. There is chronic change with no clarity or clear vision. Morale is very low.
