Pros

The team that worked under me, they had beenwith me for a number of years prior to CA acquiring our company. But as tiem went on many left because they couldn't take the CA culture.

Cons

You don't have enough space, but start from the top. Fromthe CEO down and I worked for 3 Charles Wong, Sanjay Kumar and John Sainson, none of which empoered their managers but at least with Charles and Sanjay you knew where you stood and what was expectd of you. It's sad because when Sainson came in he had an opportunity to make positive change and he has donenothing more than make the company an even more miserable place to work. I was an Executive Vice President and Iwoldn't go back for three timeswhat is was paid. This was the worst experience of my life.

Pros

Its a large corporate company that can potentially help you land another job somewhere else...this isn't some random start-up

Cons

You're at a giant company! CA doens't sell sexy products on any level and they mostly focus on their install base. Its like working at some old school and somewhat backwards company

Pros

Good Salary and Benefits in UK compared to the USA. Not too much pressure in delivering code on time, the project management team do a great job covering the time needed by dev. work. As my previous boss used to say, 'just play the game'. Gym Facilities good, people great, good development team and the requirements to produce code is not critical. Just make sure you have something to say in meetings and conference calls and use some of the corporate buzz words and you will do great in this companys culture. Just do the necessary work, enjoy the facilities and take it easy.

Cons

mandatory ethics training and trying to believe in the company;s forecasts of growth. Their saving money by closing offices and building up dev centres in low cost regions, but should still be safe for a few years yet.
