Employment status: former

Soulless, lumbering machine that is a shadow of its former self
Pros: Structured career path, flexible working hours. Pay is competitive although career options are limited and you'll be lucky to get promoted more than once every five years. Technical promotions are possible to a very high level but you will have to spend a lot of your own time and money to progress against career goals that their is not budget for.
Cons: No pay rises even for good to high performances. Bonuses non existant in the last 5 years. Use stacked ranking and forced distribution meaning in small teams managers are forced to push high performers into OK/good rankings. TErrible tooling - eg Lotus notes and connections communities.
