Pros

Easy to mix work and life balance with open schedule. As long as you get your job done ethically no one really cares the manner how you do it Workload is not challenging nor is it difficult if you can play the right games to set expectations or delegate to someone else The company is a great market at the right time. The resources are all there to make it great.

Cons

No sense of team or group. Coworkers are at best considered resources and at worst adversaries. Thankless job. Not a whole lot of thanking or appreciation. No one cares about how long you've worked here your birthdays or anniversaries. There was no holiday party last year because it just "slipped" thru. Compensation and promotion isn't merit based. The company really only rewards ambition and perception rather than action and productivity. More effort is spent on vision statements and self promotion Lack of communication. Very little communication when people leave the company or join the company. If you didn't work with the directly how you hear about is through office gossip and rumors. Best way to verify is thru the company directory. If they have been purged there they are gone.

Pros

Good execution in top management and good corporate efficiency overall, especially on a low program budget. Showy inflated position titles but not necessarily also compensations.

Cons

Low standard in line management. Manipulative, verbally abusive, trick-playing, and over-powering practice of team management seen with an infamous individual manager. Cheap, harsh, and cow-boy style of management which fooled or took advantage of employees. Managers happily took away innovative, diligent, and quality contributions often at employee's extra sacrifice of personal time and life, but hesitated to compensate back, eating free lunch with selfish personal career advancement while breaking fundamental trust with employees. Denied mistreatment to last minute, and for years took no meaningful action to recognize employees until employee resignation. Precious years of career unfortunately spent with such manager/employer.

Pros

pay there are some good benefits, but they do not make up for not getting a lunch and being forced to work 10-12 hr days

Cons

security and office services leadership has no clue how to define the word leader . they believe leading people means micro managing and bullying them via their crony leutenant. speak up for yourself and your group will be "reorganised" and your position will no longer be needed.
