Business Outlook

Pros

Seems like an upscale company that cares about employees on the outside. Nice campus.

Cons

Incompetent managers and very heavy business politics. Borderline unethical. Cares too much about reputation but operations are falling apart on day to day basis. Many incompetent engineers and too much money invested in poorly designed products.

Use its new found money to hire Directors at high salaries from outside Does not promote within its employees Only promotes new hires and Directors, kind of forget about the middle management where the actual work and decisions happen Does not value hard work and does not reward actual results Value employees who are the loudest and make drama and have their way with senior leadership
