Pros

Most people are great to work with and the pay is fair. Some of the recent reorganization was necessary but it went to far.

Cons

Management by fear, management does not want anyone to question anything- just shut up and do it. Low moral, concern about the long term viability of the company, knowledge erosion is getting worse every day. Management does not empower their employees. So much more could get done if they did. Lots of Directors and VP's... Seem to announce a new one each week. Seems to be getting very too heavy.

Pros

You will not be bothered by people talking to you, benefits seem okay.

Cons

Don’t expect to be trained on anything. Management will expect you to figure things out on your own, request your own accesses and figure out what you need without any guidance. They’ll send people to you for questions on how to do stuff within your first couple days, not having taught you how to do those things.
