Pros

Work remotely, flexible work time, good vacation time for senior employees

Cons

No longer value expert technical experts with only the bottom line being looked at.....spent so much in the merger with Qwest and trying to combine all applications, that they have run out of money and are laying off all their best employees

Pros

Work from home is only pro

Cons

So many issues. No raises. Layoffs everywhere. When those happen you have to do extra work (no additional pay) Toxic culture Leaders are DINOSAURS who should be cut. C suite delusional on growth expectations Run away from this place and don’t ruin your career.
