Pros

You can chill, since bonus is based on company performance. If you're someone who is performing or worse, outperforming the rest of your team, you will just get the same % of bonus. That's why a lot of people here are very incompetent.

Cons

As a tech company, salary and benefits are mediocre. Good folks in the market wont even consider joining here unless its a no-choice situation. Most people managers are incompetent. A lot have been promoted but was not properly trained to be at least effective people managers. HRs have the employees' interest at heart the least! They blame employees for being underpaid (compared to market) because they chose to stay in the company for many years. Somehow they also appear unapproachable because they just throw you under the bus or blame you and put the company on a pedestal or always in defensive mode. They also have this blame and political culture. They operate in hierarchy model which is outdated, just like the company's products. And of course the CEO, who only cares about the money, the Board and not its employees. He has been selling the company, and its businesses (its public info), doesnt even care about how it will affect the employees, especially those who have been loyal to them for years! I wonder what will be left of this company in months, if not years to come.
