Pros

Great employee benefits. Relaxed working environment .

Cons

The recent positive reviews have quite obviously been orchestrated by senior management. FQ may have been a 5 star rated company many moons ago,but to suggest that it is currently a great place to work is positively laughable. The many negative reviews have understandably caused some concern within the higher ranks of the company, hence the recent onslaught of 5 star reviews. As much as management try to gloss over the truth, and play down their role in poor performance, there is absolutely no denying some obvious truths. The hardest working employees, or "whiners" as described in one post, are disgruntled and frustrated for a range of very valid reasons. FQ has not been up to industry standard for a substantial period of time. That is a fact! If anybody suggests otherwise then they are outright lying. There is definitely a cluster of brilliant people, however they aren't in the positions that matter, nor do they have the ability to move forward with innovative and contemporary ideas. Road block after road block after road block. Same antiquated ideology, perpetuated by members of management who like to talk the talk, however unfortunately for them and the company, the lackluster results speak for themselves.
