Pros

Great Pay. Great Benefits (if HR will tell you about them).

Cons

Politics. In the low market prices, those who will survive are favored by their managers instead of their merits and abilities. HUGE Layoffs continue despite the emails stating that they are done. Only those who are in their bosses "circle" will survive. Everyone else will get 3 months severance and a complimentary folder that holds the termination package. There is still a HUGE amount of "make work" taking place where managers are protecting their minions. Those who had the heaviest work loads and gave the largest portion of their lives and didn't have time to stroke their bosses ego shall be released. The constant churn of leadership means that every 6 to 12 months you are dedicating your time to justifying your existence and reading your resume to a new manager. While those who can't perform are left in a position to continue their destruction. HR is absent. They had a mass exit in June and no one knows who's left to support you. Not that you can get a hold of them any how. The cuts continue to focus on the workers instead of the middle and upper managers who compose the highest salaries and tend to have the lowest output. I pray that I am released soon so that I can reduce my blood pressure and actually start sleeping at night. The stress that is put on us now, with the drastically reduced resources, is overwhelming. The best performers have all been let go (guess the company wanted to avoid those merit increases) and now it's those of us who work hard and those who skated by that are given the work load.

Pros

Some good co-workers and good challenges

Cons

Leadership in the Tucson office is highly political and unprofessional. Feedback is not given directly. Local leadership is more interested in Linkedin posting and image, rather than anything of substance.
