Vantaggi
Flexibility in schedule is nice in the work from home 2-3 days per week option, offices in the Plaza building are new, so it's somewhat pleasant.
Svantaggi
Since going public, there is an obvious shift to maintain the bottom line at all costs. Serious cost cutting happening. Moving nearly all the RTP workers into the Plaza building is creating a poor parking situation. Oh but of course upper mgmt. have their parking spaces reserved, so they needn't worry about it. They have removed all the half-cubes we had for 4 years, and have implemented new wonderful seating, in which you practically share your desk space with your neighbor. Micro reimbursement has been cut from $1200 for upgrades every 3 years, to $800...lovely. And of course the medical/dental benefits costs placed on the employee have been increased. Additional cost cutting can be seen by the leaders decision to move jobs from the US to India and other low cost countries. I would definitely think twice before applying for job here.
