Pros
The benefits were fine and parallel to other major companies in the area. Depending on the group you are in, there are some good people to work with.
Cons
- They supported student math and science tutoring and grant programs (I know because I volunteered in both) in a location where they won't be hiring these people as engineers, preferring to hire in "lower cost geographies." This came as an email from the CEO. - Huge politics and scapegoating. - Aquiring companies and laying off people, then expecting the rest to improve the quality and quantity of output to an unreasonable degree, while saying they support work/life balance. - Laying off just enough people so they don't have to report the layoff externally. - Tying unrealistic job performance expectations to salary cuts so they can get rid of people or reduce their salary without it being reported externally. - Laying off 200 people while the BU VP was making $3 million/year.
