Pros

Excellent benefits..Motivational speeches sound inspirational. You get an extra 30 minutes for lunch if you exercise. those things are nice. They are flexible about working from home.

Cons

Management, unethical behavior allowed and seen on a daily basis. Some things border on illegal. I heard comments like "no one over 40 should be allowed to work here" and "the old mans club" aimed at older folks in the tech departments. I also heard derogatory statements regarding females in the tech departments too. All of it disgusting and shameful. Management is more than aware. They don't do anything. People get drunk and loud while some others work on the beer days (thursday or friday) and it still surprises me that no one has gotten a DUI. flying footballs, guys banging around, saying nasty and crude things, I mean grow up...I moved from another group (wasn't so bad) to one that was pretty scary. Many things bordered on illegal. Don't expect to move up either..zero upward mobility from what I experienced. I have never worked in such an unprofessional place in my entire life. It's why I left very quickly after being moved.

Pros

Great benefits, Party 'till you Puke Thirsty Thursday (F.K.A. Beer Fiday's)

Cons

Don't let anyone fool you - for a "progressive" company in the fast growing RTP techie world, the GOB Syndrome (Good Ole Boy) is alive & well here! I have watched many of my co-workers drop from the radar like flies...if they're not jumping ship for Cisco or RedHat, they're being squeezed out for pointing out some of the illegal / unethical practices going on.

Pros

Great atmosphere and great people. Thirsty Thursdays, beer trucks, group outings, they pay for your benefits and you get an extra 30 minutes on your lunch if you work out.

Cons

Moving up can be difficult and some in senior management can be very defensive to new ideas and some do not really utilize the open door policy that many others in upper management promote. There isn't much recognition at work either, although they are trying to work on that.
