Business outlook
Pros
The eight-week sabbatical is great -- if you can make it that long. Good vacation time, decent base salaries and pretty good benefits -- but not as good as they used to be (no longer have a defined benefit plan). Equity used to be great to have, but since the buyout, just not the upside potential anymore for the rest of the folks.
Cons
Top management plays by different rules. If you can come in at a high enough level, you'll love it. Otherwise the incentive comp is lacking for everyone else. Poor communication of strategic direction. Little incentive given to the sales people.
