      Pros

      None I can think of. This was a great place to work, no longer.

      Cons

      Senior management has destroyed this company and continues to make poor decisions. Workers scapegoated for senior management failure. There is no accountability for Upper management. They still receive obscene levels of compensation whether they deliver or not and are guaranteed golden parachutes upon exit. This company wastes money hand over fist and continues to compound this by having to pay to undo messes.They don't care about the quality of the work but Just want to maximize profits at any cost. Workers are looked at as an expense rather than a resource that can build capital. They continue to export jobs to countries with cheap labour and human rights abuses.

      Poor management, limited career opportunities, constant laid-offs...

      Pros

      Nice office buildings where almost everyone provided own room. Good gym and cantine, library with fresh scientific magazines.

      Cons

      Interpersonal relations are quite bad, bullying managers, racial discrimination. Monthly performance reviews are connected to the bonus system, and maybe this explains why they are so harsh. At the same time systematic soldiering of your collegues, poor collaboration, bad planning, lack of support dont leave you any chance to move forward. Fear of loosing jobs and risk of mobbing, might have increased due to recent laid offs.

      Pros

      good health benefits fair salary good yearly bonus good relocation package work from home 1 to 2 days a week

      Cons

      No room for career advancement The promotion policy needs to be clear and equitably applied to all employees You cannot expect employees to stay when you freeze promotion cycles. This is not only demoralizing for the employees who were submitted for promotion, but it is also demoralizing for the other employees in the company. Too many initiatives upper level managment is out of touch and or negative at times hiring process is slow, burdensome and ineffective at best employee morale has quickly eroded in the last 6 months retention rates will continue to worsen
