Pros
My direct manager is great. Some of my peers are fantastic. Decent pay. OK benefits. Flexible schedule. Good severance package for those who have been around for a while
Cons
Where do I begin? Senior leadership continues to be ex-Oracle. Apparently, they believe we should be an Oracle shop in every way. They even got rid of SFDC in favor of Oracle's lousy CRM making it even more difficult to get our day-to-day jobs done. Layoffs are non-stop at this point with another big one coming soon. And while cuts are sometimes necessary in any business, some managers are not consulted which results in top performers being cut while ineffective peers stay on. It makes no sense. (btw - it appears all/most operational and back office jobs will soon be based out of India). Work/Life balance is terrible. It has been made worse with all the cuts over the past few years and the expectation that those left standing will simply pick up the slack. Working long days, late nights, weekends, holidays and during vacation is a survival technique. Benefits that were grandfathered in are being taken away. Penalties for family healthcare if your spouse has their own coverage (who wants to manage 2 different health care plans??). No investment outside of the core NBU product set. Current corporate strategy seems to be: strip the organization down to the bones so it can be sold off in pieces.
