Business Outlook
Pros
A leader in a relatively stable market sector. Has some good technologies - especially in the speech recognition area. Allows for remote workers.
Cons
A very political office environment. Some departments are run by a few incompetent managers who are in their positions just because they are a part of the “in-crowd”. Good work seldomly get rewarded, but, if you are part of the in-crowd, you can pretty much do no wrongs. It is a highly stressful environment both in terms of the atmosphere and the workload. There is no work/life balance.
