Pros

The 401k is decent, the pay mediocre and the benefits good.

Cons

I am a very long term employee who has seen a transformation in the company culture. People who have worked here for 10+ years are systematically overlooked for promotion. Nepotism runs rampant and many key positions are filled by husband/wife, cousins or relatives from the global headquarters. They seem to allow a revolving glass door of overseas employees to fill vacancies. The executive team over the past five years have all found better jobs with other companies that value individual contributions and are not dictatorial in their management style.

Pros

Solid pay, amazing benefits, best 410k match I've ever seen. Very generous PTO.

Cons

Extreme micromanagement, very high turnover, getting anything accomplished is a challenge. Management knows there are major issues, but nothing changes. Job would be bearable if the manager were replaced. Way too much finger pointing.
