Nepotism Central
Pros: The benefits - free health insurance and yearly fitness allowance
Cons: 1.) This company is highly political. If you're not on the favorite list, you should just move on. People who have been in the company for 1 year are suddenly promoted 2 levels because they know CVPs while other people who have worked hard for years are passed over in favor of these people.
2.) No diversity. Don't let the rah rah talks fool you. This company doesn't care about promoting women or ethnicities, which is why there's been so many lawsuits. Luckily this company has lots and lots of lawyers to fend off all of these lawsuits.
3.) Incredible amount of layoffs. Every quarter there are layoffs, which have become a running joke among managers. Hundreds of people get laid off while the company continues to hire at rapid speed.
