Pros

Working with some of the smartest people. Great products. Overall benefits are pretty good. Rational workplace overall, except for telecommuting policy.

Cons

Lack of career growth opportunities. This is a big drawback if you are on a fast career track. Very limited telecommuting allowed. Resistant to change.

New Blood is needed in Sr Management

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

lots of products to learn. Talented engineers at your service. Friendly interaction between teams. Learning from the best at the best in each industry... Individuals care. Culture and environment used to be great... No more idea zones and places to do creative thinking as a group.

Cons

Work from home policy is horrendous. 3 days a year? That's ridiculous. No reason given, just want to have control. Trust your employees.. Lack of advancement. Sr Management have their pets and they see these individuals through the ranks. Promotions are rare, but not for your pet. Whatever you want is what they say. Layoffs are termed "Job eliminations"... Call a spade a spade.... Wake up and give more opportunity to these talented individuals. I see when the economy picks up, you will certainly be sorry for losing some terrific people to other companies.
