Business Outlook

Pros

Promotions are possible every 18 months, but your may not "release" you based on business needs, head count, and a multitude of other reasons. However, you can veritably remake your career several times within this company and move around the country.

Cons

Very little accountability for those in middle mgmt (i.e. Sales Mgmt). There's virtually no way to have their lack of leadership reviewed by upper mgmt and skip levels are a joke. Don't get me started on the Sales Comp team.

Business Outlook

Pros

They offer a good benefits package, with ample vacation. There is a flexibility to work changeable hours if you need to leave early or come in late, and generally treated as a professional without too much complaint. However, senior manager has been heard to state " Im the teacher, you are the schoolkids" which is not a phrase a good leader should ever utilise. Team cohesiveness is great, the average engineer has a teamspirit that keeps everyone going. Everyone chips in to help each other, to achieve the goals laid down. Relaxed environment, always able to fit in short pieces of "personal" activities during a day without complaint.

Cons

Expectation to give up personal life to meet senior management expectations. They dont want to hear "cant". Have a need to have "Yes Men" in significant positions, and do not take kindly to realistic communications sometimes
