Pros
The people are very friendly. It is the type of place where you walk down the hallway and even if you don't know the person, they will greet you. The vacation time is good and the managers can be very flexible. The atmosphere is causal yet professional. They also have different newsletters that keep you up to date with what is going on within the company worldwide. Too, they are willing to hire current college students for co-op and intern positions and if you do a decent job, maybe even full-time work.
Kontras
Paying the investors seems to be the biggest priority and not the employees. They try to make up for the so so pay with company perks like "employee appreciation day" and an onsite "gourmet" over priced cafeteria, when all people want is decent pay! Business decisions don't always seem so wise and the CEO doesn't really seem to have a clue regarding what is going on in the world below him. Beware as to who you speak your mind to, because you never know who's listening and trust me, they are! There is poor communication between departments and even though we all work for the same company, people seem to be working towards their own agenda. There is rampant favoritism and brown nosing happening and if you have the right manager, that will get you way farther than you deserve!
