Pros
So much restructuring and poor management that you can fly under the radar and get by without doing anything productive. Competitve benifits, but if the minimum wage goes to 12 bucks an hour I will put an application in at McDonald's. Oputunities to have work delegated to you by europeans. Time to self reflect and wonder what you did wrong in this life or your previous life to end up here. Good insurance, you will be able to afford name brand antideppresents. Which is good for the company because you will need something stronger in your cup to get out of bed Monday through friday. There are so many failures and mistakes that yours will be unnoticed. You would think your successes would not go unnoticed.
Cons
Unable to use your skills in a way that can benifit the organization. Managment does not have the time or apptitude to discuss and plan projects with any reasoable amount of foresight. More to the point the organization is trying to survive instead of thrive. An average working day is just like the Walking Dead, but with more zombies and fewer resources to go around. The harder you work at the company the more demotivated you will become. It is likely that any successful work you do will be undone because every system and businesse unit is dysfunctional. However most projects fail before leaving technical anyways due to a lack of planning and thinking. This likely saves the company money by avoiding customer lawsuits down the road. Possibly a factor in their cost savings matrix. The job is so depressing and unrewarding that you will contemplate stopping your car on the railroad tracks at least once a week on your way to work.
