Pros

Above average compensation package including salary, bonus & LTIs (managers and above). Generous vacation time plus company shutdown between Christmas and New Years. Cutting edge HQ offices utilizing open space seating. Ability to WFH as needed.

Cons

Reorganizations every other year resulting in layoffs. People who survive the cuts keep their heads down and worry about when their time is up. Limited career advancement or opportunities for rotations. Very few people in late 50's or 60's.

Pros

Compensation, health benefits, retirement planning, vacation and loyal workers.

Cons

This company is shrinking and there is a constant fear of people losing their jobs. This uncertainty drives a lot of negative politics. There is hardly any career growth and the limited amount of opportunities are held for friends of friends. The company does not promote or reward based on merit/performance. The company is trying to improve its balance sheet by reducing headcount without any concern for lost talent. Key talent is also leaving because of the environment. It won't be long before the only employees left will be the ones no company should be retaining.
