Highly toxic, don't recommend any longer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Used to have good pay, key word is USED TO. The rank and salary ceilings are lower the last couple of years. Unless you are lucky and get one of the few good bosses, you will get stuck very quickly.

Cons

Terrible cost cutting measures, constant restructuring and layoffs. Also heard of people being forced to leave in various ways without severance. The remaining people have to fill the void without proper training. Consider yourself warned.
