Below-average salaries Constant restructuring and fear of layoffs Internal mobility is difficult The work you do doesn’t matter as much as your “personal brand” and your ability to network within the company; you can’t advance if your VP doesn’t like you Finance organization is too large with too many teams that do similar things; teams end up competing against each other and sometimes are openly hostile towards one another because of lack of clarity about roles and responsibilities, and because people are protecting their own job security rather than doing what is best for the company Good chance that you will get siloed and end up only focusing on one or two account lines within the P&L, with no exposure to other things unless you can move internally to a new department

They have an interview process that is designed to eliminate U.S. candidates from being hired. They use lower criteria for the H1B visa candidates. About 80% of technical workforce in Arizona are foreign visa. But if you do get hired, managers are NOT software developers yet they manage software developers. Supervisors are called Directors from some reason, they micro-manage the direct employees while NOT holding visa workers accountable. Management in general dominate meetings and suck the oxygen out of the room. It is all about the management team and their politics.
