Avantages
Good place to start your career. Lots of great people, willing to answer questions and help you learn. Relaxed work environment. Decent pay and benefits. Some good middle level managers.
Inconvénients
Struggling leadership, vague vision for company direction. A service corporation posturing as a products company. Very hierarchical, autocratic management structure. Lots of managers, directors, and vice presidents versus individual contributors. You will be told to get something done with few guidelines and vague expectations - then told to redo it at the last minute. Zero work / life balance. Be ready to work 50-60 hour weeks because of poor planning by management. Top performers put in a lot overtime and receive no meaningful recognition (raises, bonuses, etc.). Nearly impossible to get a promotion or change roles.
