Employment status: former

Solid corporation to work for but upper mgt. seems to taking company down wrong track these last several years
Pros: Solid corporation to work, good benefits, great training/learning opportunities, great experience, many smart and talented employees, potential for good work/life balance if on right team/area/discipline;
Cons: potential for poor work/life balance if on wrong team/area/discipline; outsourcing U.S. jobs to lower paid overseas workers, trend towards not respecting U.S. employees and employees in general (i.e. taking away reimbursements for work at home, low cost awards, etc.), a somewhat secretive mgt. communication culture, lack of strategy for true growth/innovation (stock has been flat for 10+ yrs), only way they stay profitable is cutting more and more costs and cutting jobs
