Clueless, Power-Hungry Management

Marketing specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Noble work that helps people overcome diseases.

Cons

Management constantly lays off good employees to boost their bottom line and enlarge their own bonuses. Layoffs are almost an annual thing so beware. Managers are very immature and have no idea what they doing but they want everyone to think they are smart. It’s like the kids running the liquor store and they are all drunk on power. Stay away unless you enjoy being unappreciated for your work and being managed by inept idiots who don’t care about you in the least. And internal hiring is almost unheard of...recruiters won’t even talk to you. Inhumane place.

Pros

great pay (base + bonus + LTI) and benefits; easy & relax environment.

Cons

if you're a smart, hardworking White or Asian male good luck with any advancement opportunities. Never-ending layoff cyclical - however not a big deal if you're smart/hard-working person. Too much/many politician - personal interest over organization.
