Pros

Cons

Work life balance can sometimes be a challenge

Pros

Great benefits, great field experience

Cons

If you are the type of person who; will steal others work and take credit, stomp over your colleagues to move up the ladder, have zero technical skills for your job, are from the US, and have male parts - you will do great with this company. In addition, you must be an expert boot licker, thats the most important skill. Middle managers and supervisors have no idea what they are doing, have no experience in the... departments they are in charge of and have no skills or experience in managing people. The general motto is - "you are a number, do what your told or we'll make your life miserable"

Advice to Management

Try designating supervisors with the proper technical experience and social skills for managing people instead of whoever is the best boot licker.

Pros

Good training for new hires

Cons

Too political; ranking system is prone to favoritism; very poor life work balance; little advancement if not an American

Advice to Management

Don't know where to begin, company is very troubled
