Pros

Co-workers were great and benefits are decent.

Cons

This place has gone downhill since being bought. The environment is toxic, the management is useless and misogyny and favoritism abounds. I worked there for over 18 years and just watched the ship sink.

Don't ever work here.

Business Outlook

Pros

None really, unless you enjoy coasting and don't care about growth or pay.

Cons

They will move you around every year, with no growth potential in the horizon. They will lie to you about having 'growth opportunities' in the new team but thats just a way to move you laterally and not vertically without any promotions or raises. Coming from someone who this has happened to not once but thrice, this place is a total scam. They just want to get work done from you but really don't care about you. I have had 5 managers here and only 1 who was fired was ever any good. Don't work here and save yourself some mental health.

Pros

Remote Workplace contributes to flexibility and work life balance Current Technology - technology tools are provided upon the asking

Cons

Silo abundant i.e. outside of your vertical you have no idea who you work with or what they do. Very segmented with no definitive culture.
