Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Cheap place to work, drastic year over year cuts, overworked, underpaid.
Pros: Above average benefits
Some work from home opportunity depending on job role
Smart people (ever so slowly declining)
Cons: Salary
Despite record profits, year over year cuts to overall compensation. Going the way of IBM
Record quarter, yet we lost our internet subsidy (mobile workers). Christmas party? What Christmas party? At a snookers club? 
Record high delivery margin in the services business - yet continual need to cut costs. Citing work life balance as a reason to work from home. "Doing more with less" - why? 
Corporate speak like no one's business
Cutting training substantially, again citing every reason except with reducing costs. Stop saying people are your #1 asset when you care less every year
