Focus is on money, not employees or customer service

Program manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Average pay, some workplace flexibility, good benefits. Many locations around the world in which one might be able to work and at home, maybe.

Cons

Focus on moving US jobs to "off shore" jobs to save money and reduce American head count. Corporate wide move to a shared services model which depends on fracturing the work into cheap assembly line components, with little or no contact with or appreciation of the customer. Savage cost cutting. Moving more work on fewer people.

Business Outlook

Pros

They have good compensation if you like using the 401k to plan for retirement. They are usually fair with performance reviews and give a lot of vacation from 3-5 weeks and 12 holidays.

Cons

They are moving many jobs to India and Brazil. Not a good place to work if your job can be done remotely. They used to have values such as 'respect for the individual' that they have abandoned
