Pros

Great benefits, good co-workers, good pay

Cons

Leadership makes poor business decisions, acquisitions. Annual layoffs before Christmas keeps you on the edge of your seat. Company seems to enjoy making your job harder by replacing a single necessary software with 2 or 3 alternates with insufficient features.

Pros

The people in non- upper management roles that work there are fantastic. Great sense of community onsite and the culture champions are consistently looking for ways to make work life better.

Cons

Very poor communication on the strategy for the business unit. Leadership publicly promotes innovation and new ideas to be presented but then those ideas are shot down or penalized in private by current upper management. The business unit leadership says that don't want excuses for project delays but will then decide to do 3 major layoffs in the first two quarters with no transition plan, no support for gap in resources and no expectations to delayed progress.
