Business Outlook

Pros

Super innovative company Strong growth, continues to win year after year Dynamic company that encourages risk taking Very generous bonus which makes up for lower than anticipated base salary Great benefits - including 4 weeks for vacation and unlimited sick days

Cons

For a company that generates in billions in sales, operates like a start up Company only invest in client interfacing but back office systems are sub par Communication is poor within team as well as cross functionally Highly emotional environment based on FEAR where leaders feel beaten down which has trickling effect Very political environment and finger pointing (despite corporate values of "respect for all") For newbies coming into the company, will face tremendous culture shock, this workplace is not for everyone - must have very thick skin or be able to duke it out
