Pros

The pay is competitive with a good portion being variable - this helps in keeping people motivated to work hard.. The company has a good brand value in the IT products and services space, and has a global presence.

Cons

Bad acquisition strategy, with most acquisitions just languishing. The company tries to create value from multiple products, but customers do not seem to buy into this vision. They missed the SAAS boat and are now struggling to find a way to stay relevant. Honestly I believe that the company has good engineering talent, but very bad management doing the execution and strategy. There is no real innovation and cutting edge work being done at this company. No people at the company who can be called "visionary".

Expect Reorgs - Overall OK

Pros

Great technology, excellent benefits and office environment. Flexibility to work from home.

Cons

Top down management style - no room to influence decision makers from the bottom up. Systematic Reorg at the end of each fiscal year. No collaboration between different BUs. Changes difficult to implement/taking too much time due to company size and middle management.
