Employment status: former

Smart people, exceptionally weak management.
Pros: Great benefits - especially Healthcare.  Good work/life balance.  In the field at least, great support for telecommuting.  Starting salary good, but get what you want to start as salary adjustments impacted by convoluted review process.
Cons: Absolutely the weakest management I have ever worked for in my entire career.  Big disconnect between headquarters and the field.  Not a good company to express an opinion that does not agree with the management fad of the day.
