Overall rating: 5/5
Employment status: former

Great Company with excellent benefits
Pros: Change to work on emerging technologies
Fantastic Benefits
Most employees welcome collaboration
CEO has reinvigorated the company
Cons: Older staff are laid off more frequently
Layoffs seems to be the new norm around quarterly earnings announcement
Revenue and profit is strong, yet layoffs persist for seemingly little business reason.  A person is laid off, the job title changed and then a younger person is hired to replace them.
