1) Archaic FORCED Performance Evaluation Ranking process. Every year 10% people are let go because they are ranked 3 on a scale of 1-Best, 2-Average, 3-Poor Performance. Usually 10% people are 1's, 80% people are 2's and 10% people are 3's which is forced. 2) Be ready to be fired at anytime. I have seen 8 layoffs in 6 years of my experience. If the company sees any slowdown in the market they immediately start firing new people with less then 5 years of experience. 3) Some managers are very dominating and will force their thinking upon you. If you try to do things differently you might become the candidate to be ranked 3. There is no room for creativity. 4) Old management style. Lot of bureaucracy. Most of the people jobs are sending emails everyday and following up on things. Real R&D is only 5-10%. 5) Professional growth is very slow. It will take at least 4 years to get promoted to the next level. The company values experience more than a person who is talented and puts in extra effort. 6) Middle managers have formed groups/cliques. If one of the manager doesn't like you the whole group will start devaluing you.
