Great place for unambitious staff who don't want to be challenged in their work or who want to collect a paycheck

Cons

Poor strategic and innovative leadership; my manager was particularly adept at micro-managing - remote working frowned up; in office every day; little respect for anyone else's schedule but her own Beware of passive aggressive Managers who have talented 'underlings' Very poor and behind-the-times IT - tools, services

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
