      Good company, bad employer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Solid, stable company. Industry leader. Opportunities for advancement or movement to other positions. Great for sales and marketing or R&D but not much else.

      Cons

      Overworked and underpaid. Lots of turnover and little training, which means a lot of managers that don't know what they are doing. Too much focus on "the numbers" and stock price, and not concerned about employee happiness. Emphasis is on cutting costs (labor specifically) and not on creating value for the customer. Company does not learn from mistakes, and all decisions are top-down. Does not listen to ideas from below. Very political. Rewards "yes-men" who appease their managers, and punishes anyone with negative feedback (even if it's the truth). Very poor communication between divisions. No transparency. Has major, major problems with IT infrastructure and its proprietary software that is essential to its operations.

      Great company to work for

      Senior development engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      An employee orientated organization, driven towards growth and profitability, personal and company wide. Bonuses and compensation are consistent, not the highest in the industry, but always come through. Constantly expanding. Lots of opportunity to travel.

      Cons

      Open office environments and lots of other trendy biz terms that can drive an employee crazy. Too much emphasis on documentation controls, very bureaucratic..
