Pluspunten

Work life balance is good if you make it happen. For a big company, the benefits are ok compared to the industry but by far behind the best companies to work for. Parking is plenty. The buildings are in ok condition with working and cleaning toilets most of the time. The newly renovated cafeteria and lobby are stunning. But, the cost of dining there has doubled.

Minpunten

The work environment is toxic and cold due to constant layoffs that are corporate driven for shareholder value. There is a drive by corporate get rid off cubes while managers maintain their offices with doors and windows. The company only spends 6 percent of annual revenue on R&D. This is half of the industry standard. Individualism is not tolerated as design by committee pervails driven by "C" grade managers. Outdated bell curve job ranking based on favoritism and good old boys network resulting in Lack of trust everywhere. The company is stagnant and devoid of culture as it outsources most of its work to Ireland and India. They like to acquire companies and try to make their products work. In some cases, there is success. But, right now, after they have acquired an Israely company with lots of problems, there is trouble ahead.

Pluspunten

There really aren't any. Incredibly toxic culture all the way down. BD used to be a great and supportive place to work but that is no more.

Minpunten

Very toxic culture. Management all the way down is either abusive or or flat out incompetent. We are told to essentially ignore our own code of conduct policies and ethics to the point where all qualified and competent performers have been run off by tyrant middle managers who can essentially do whatever they want or being saddled with the work of 3 people. You will not be valued here. The morale is at bottom and everyone is looking to leave the sinking ship.
