Overall rating: 2/5
Employment status: current

The place is going down
Pros: Overall the salary is good, but not spectacular.  They are a strong company, with many different divisions to move between and gain experience.  Most managers are good at helping with your work/life balance.
Cons: Executive management is taking more control from staff and line managers.  The company has had very good years and the executives are not sharing so that the stock price can be driven higher.  The are the main ones who get stock options, so it only rewards them.  The expense cuts are not likely sustainable without serious negative effects.
