Pros
Wealthy company with big budgets that allows experimenting with less obvious solutions.
In VERY good times - some bonuses are given (though small).
Very nice facilities (both offices of the company).
Very good growth potential (in terms of market status and size).
Cons
The senior management is bad in many ways:
- The way they lay people off
- Sharing and consulting with mid management and employees
- A lot of unnecessary spending
- No obvious path for promotion
- A LOT of false promising by the management for existing employees (to keep them) and new employees (to recruit them) in terms of salary, company status, atmosphere, promotions and well being.
- Management keep the cards close.
- Low to Average salaries for employees (better for mid management)
- Incompetent people in key positions, without proper knowledge or management skills.
- High demands but limited resources
The cons stated above are felt in many departments (both in the the marketing & operations and support division).
