Bad managment that relies on smoke and mirrors

Senior hardware design engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work schedule but expect to work much more than 40 hours a week. If a new hire they will treat you better for awhile until the favorites are chosen and the next batch come in.

Cons

Below average pay for above average work load. No pay raises for several years in a row. Raise have been below CPI since Gerstner left. Lower level management is very political and petty. Upper level management completely clueless. They think being a "me too" company will lead to profits.
