Pluspunten

The benefits are good...I guess.

Minpunten

I'm going to be upfront and it may sting but whatever. This is the most dinosauric, backwards-thinking company Ive had the displeasure of working for. I've applied myself for 6 years and NEVER received a promotion or any type of advancement. Just pointless reprimands for the most asinine crap like "attendance issues" despite my flawless track record of submitting my work on time. Yeah, who cares if the Senior Designer has never missed a deadline, so lets lecture him like a high school student cause he wasn't in his seat at a certain time. Well how about working remote? Or sorry, you can only do that for ONE day a week and its only when we say you can due to....reasons. Lets shovel more repetitive assignments that require zero effort. Since we're devoid of creativity, lets force obsolescent design trends cause its easier to produce. It's like these people are stuck 10 years in the past and refuse to evolve with modern industries. Pitching ideas are constantly rejected in favor of something mediocre to hide imperfections. Hire ups playing favoritism with others, management being stuck in outdated business cultures. Constant stubbornness to innovate. No vacation time permitted in the summer. WTF?! How this place still exists is beyond me.

Pluspunten

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Minpunten

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
