Pros

Great benefit packages, PTO, most positions get bonuses

Cons

Company has shipped the majority of positions to lower cost locations. There is little career growth opportunities, as they got rid of inline promotions, and because of the off shoring of positions, the US career mrkt. is not is stagnant. Plus there are monthly layoffs, disguised as restructuring. Bonuses have been on a steady decline over the past 10 years and merit increases have been all but impossible to obtain, as they set the threshold at less than 5% of the company can get them. Due to staffing reductions before adequate plans for the work are made, almost every dept is grossly understaffed and over worked. So the work life balance is non existent. This company thrives on being reactive instead of proactive, leaving staff to be in constant fire drill mode.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

The company has a great severence package. Unfortunately thats a pro because they are laying off workers every 3 months until most of operations are offshore. Decent 401k match and vacation.

Cons

Layoffs, pay is low. Return to office mandate.
