Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Confirmed

Safe, stultifying place to deliver mediocre product
Pros: Good benefits
Low pressure (if you can ignore self-inflicted chaos from management)
Cons: Technical management -> execu-tecture  (Architecture by executives)
No manager below executive VP has ANY authority (no budgets, no responsibility)
Constant churn in direction based on latest executive customer visit
Release management thinks it is in control
Only managers get real raises or significant options ... everyone else is a cog
Hiring is a Kafkaesque joke -- reqs appear, are frozen, disappear, reappear ... candidates literally put on-hold for 6-8 months
