Pros

Colleagues are nice - but that's everywhere. Good location and office. Flexible working. Good bonus structure. OK benefits.

Cons

You really know company culture is in a bad shape when HR start posting positive Glassdoor reviews. The company is turning into one big fake news. The management paints the picture of a successful company and a great place to work but that's not what people feel. People fill out work surveys but everyone knows it's full of BS, as the survey results are miraculously always rosy. The merger with IHS possibly was good financially speaking but IHS brought a lot of toxicity and the overall culture is deteriorating rapidly. HR practices are utterly broken. I was lucky with my manager but many people are just lazy and backstabbing. People get promoted for being good at playing politics, not on merits. "Might is right" is a typical way of dealing with critique - no suggestion of operational improvement that came from bottom-up was ever implemented. C-suit management must be aware of the problem but think that they can fix things by sending a few encouraging emails to all staff - which only aggravates the issue. No L&D at all.

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
