      Horrible Management, low salary, beware

      Pros

      It's hard to find a pro for a company that has ridiculously low salaries, over works the employees, and has more politics than any other company I have worked for.

      Cons

      - Leadership team is very buddy and known for laying off employees that don't do exactly they say - Promotions are scarce if you aren't american - Hate to say it, but the company participates in religious discrimination. On multiple occasions, I felt uncomfortable because managers were discussing their opinions on my religion.

      Pros

      There's a quite a bit of opportunities to work in different areas in the company. In San Jose we have unlimited sick days and paid Christmas week shutdown. In many cases there's a lot of options to receive training (through BD university or outside vendors) Good vacation policies - starting with 3 weeks, additional week after 10 years and additional week after 25 years.

      Cons

      Very expensive medical insurance with only 80% coverage, high deductibles and maximum out of pocket. A lot of politics, Senior management doesn't always follow the recommendation from their employees, which often ends badly. IT is very corporate driven, which doesn't leave many opportunities for other IT people around the world. Comparing to other companies in the Bay Area - salaries are low. A lot of working hours, weekends, etc.
