Pros

Biggest CRO so lots of opportunities at the more junior level; attracts top talent (but struggling to keep it); decent benefits package; good office facilities

Cons

A serious lack of trust in the vision and honesty of upper management has led to plunging morale. This used to be a great company with a great vision and I never thought I'd want to leave but since the IPO it is all about productivity and the bottom line - there is no sense that upper management really know what they are doing, other than squeezing people and off-shoring. Senior managers spend all their time on internal politics, looking over their shoulders and pointing fingers and are completely disconnected from the workforce. A handful of untalented but well-connected cronies shuffle places at the top. The atmosphere has become very unhealthy.

Pros

None, I give 0 ratings

Cons

The company cares more about shareholders than their own employees. Pay is terrible, again, money is invested into shareholders than employees Management likes to gossip about their own employees instead of being a leader Favoritism and brown nose kissing to get promoted Unexpected layoffs without any notice Discrimination against people with disabilities, on FMLA, and pregnant women Will work you like a slave, but take all of the credit like they did all the work. All they do is sit on their butts at the desks all day long
