The company is too big for it's own good and individual performance is not valued above following inane corporate policy

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Government like job / benefits with excessive emphasis of following corporate processes and policies without taken into account the realities on ground.

Cons

No growth. Only people who say YES to every stricture emanating from top can survive and grow, others no matter how talented will rust in this company.

A zombifying experience.

Business Outlook

Pros

Pays well Lots of time to do your work

Cons

Extremely low morale Frequently, more effort from co-workers is put towards pushing work onto you than doing the task itself. Cubicle walls just high enough to prevent any social interaction, but low enough that you overhear conversation. High enough to give you a false sense of privacy, but low enough for anyone to passing by to see what you are doing. Trying to accomplish a task is like trying to run through a swimming pool of goo. For example, code submission is a 3-7 days process.
