Pros

-Opportunity to work with big impact customers -Salary and Bonus is fair -Technology can be interesting -Good people in the trenches -Offices are awesome

Cons

-Some of the technology is from like 1995, and has had trouble keeping up in today's environments -Management is not trustworthy, will talk big but will do nothing -Never got a salary raise despite "excellent" performance reviews -Had a new manager every 6 months -Raise any concerns, or rock the boat and expect to be silenced or end up on the annual layoff -Half the company is from India or in a overseas location -For a technology company managers have little product knowledge or technology experience.

Pros

compensation world-class co-workers benefits great offices opportunity to develop if you have the right leader

Cons

management "the emperor's new clothes" - no one has the guts to say/do what really needs to be said/done everyone's a VP or President hours "what have you done for me lately" concern for development of employees is hollow and insincere little to no opportunity for women in upper management
