Good company with bad management
Pros: Excellent benfits for employees paired with a generally relaxed environment and very good work/life balance.
Cons: All levels of management like to spout corporate BS about people being assets and looking forward while entire focus is on how much money they can post to Wall St this quarter. This causes many internal tools to fail to work properly as resources are pulled of projects to work on others or just laid off resulting in less efficient working conditions. They are now asking how to keep contractors furloughed to below 40/hrs per week without paying any extra. Raises are still on hold for at least this year, maybe next for contratcors and employees.
