Business Outlook

Pros

Pays well. Stable. Sponsors visas. Nice sinecure for the unambitious.

Cons

This place is full of h1b visa holders. They work 100 hour weeks, and if you don't do the same, you will be toast. They create a culture of corruption and patronage similar to any crony-capitalist third-world country, but on a higher pay scale. You are a slave and your ideas are not valued, because your success is a threat to your boss. There is a chain of 12 levels of hierarchy here. Endless politics. The better you are, the worse your life will be.

Pros

-Nice Office. -Pay if you are good at your job. -Don't fire people unless you are really bad. -Challenging work rate always a lot to do.

Cons

-Proprietary code and system. -Lot of bad legacy code and firefighting. -Get ready to be micro-managed on everything. -Processes are decided by out of touch managers and cannot be changed. -Employees feedback are never taken in account. -Get ready to be considered as untrustworthy even after years. -Turnover is really high (60% of company has been here less that two years) so nobody know how thing works. -Even though the company boast itself of it unique culture and been flexible don't get fooled they will let you down if you need them (sickness, disaster). -Everything is at manager discretion (so some people get a lot (trip, free meal) but most get nothing). -Priorities change every 5 min. -Less and less perks.
