Unrealized potential

Director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great health insurance, generous PTO, good work-life balance, nice campuses, competitive pay packages, and a genuine sense that the company aspires to be a good corporate citizen.

Cons

While leaders of the company talk a good game about recruiting the best talent, developing employees and helping them grow their careers, that narrative is paper thin. And, worst of all, the company will not hesitate to lay people off in order to appease shareholders - even high performers who consistently add value to the organization.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good life/work balance, there are many interesting areas, international presence. Used to be an employer that cared about people. This is not the case in April 2016.

Cons

Politics, inter-sites fighting, real bad middle, and upper management in general. Fear of failure and arrogance in most areas. Current CEO is a CFO and only cares about costs. Overall working environment is getting worse (free seating, open space, tools). No growth, and almost no chance of growing again due to existing management and current strategies realization.
