Pros

+ Some good IP and some great people. Those not in the political game are typically skilled, knowledgeable, helpful and supportive.

Cons

- Broken culture that has been systematically constructed by a management by numbers philosophy. - Too many 'rainmakers' being hired and not enough people with real expertise - Itchy trigger finger. Leadership prioritizes being cash rich, so that further acquisitions can be made, when it might consider supporting loyal and high performing employees - Dishonest, manipulative, and disingenuous management in the Middle East

Pros

Work from home gives flexibility, time off is good.

Cons

No raises ever, bonuses are not a motivator nor an indicator of the work you do. No one seems to know why you receive the bonus you do, it is just from a spreadsheet handed to your direct manager who apparently has no influence in the decision. Raises never happen and no one can answer if they are coming or not—you just never get one.
