All looks awesome at first..

Business Outlook

Pros

Well, kind of a big company, nice people around, but happy with all they have and not looking for more (at least in Sweden)

Cons

For some reason, that is hardly to conceive, company let go the youngest, full of passion. As a result all you see is complacent 45-65 y.o. folks that hurry home to kids and family and do not care much about the company.

Canned for Cancer

Business Outlook

Pros

The Plano Office is tastefully decorated and has a lake. And a pretty nice cafeteria.

Cons

A culture of governance by fear. Exempt employees have no holidays. Americans are not welcome. Terrible product. I was the most productive trainer in the training department. I literally averaged MORE than 40 hours a week on platform (and that doesn't count all of the other parts of the job, like travel). I also taught more courseware than anyone else. Yet, I got canned, literally, two days after I told them I had cancer. Then they illegally cut off my health insurance. Then they broke the law by not sending me COBRA forms.

Managed services can't manage themselves.I felt like I had no supervisor at all and never received a complement.

Pros

Nice severance package to quiet you on the way out. You'll never have to meet you manager since he doesn't leave his house and has a paid for company vehicle.

Cons

Bring your parachute for the expected layoff and save your pennies from your minimal pay increase. I've never seen people get paid to sit at home any where or get promoted for duis or losing driver's licenses. It's not what you know. It's who you know in this company.
