      Leave your good ideas and passions at the door- you won't need them

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Good compensation. Some very good people still left even after the BladeLogic fiasco.

      Cons

      Cancerous political climate at the executive levels percolates down through the ranks- passive-aggressive behaviors are the norm. All product strategy is driven top-down and 8 layers of management ensure reality stays comfortably distant. Non-existent research and planning for products leads to high project failure rate. As a result, execution is 100% reactionary to customers and deals at risk. Plan to work nights and weekends just to stay in the game and forget about your work being recognized or the correct people being held accountable for failures. Chances are the only person blamed will be the only truly honest person involved.

      Pros

      Management willing to consider new ideas and ways of doing things. Good, top talent people in the org. Good sales traction means bonuses are paid, which is nice in this economy. Not everything IT/HR is outsourced.

      Cons

      Most IT/HR is outsourced and therefore horrible. Too many untalented people in key positions. Web site is old fashioned. Planning process is old fashioned with fixed content and hard deadlines that are regularly missed. Weird org structure with docs centralised and too many people in India. Key products don't work as well as people think.
