      Pros

      No Pros. These are the reason why you should work for CA Engineering: You get to work for a rare great manager. You get paid exceptionally well, again rare in Engineering. You are married and live within 5-10 miles from office. When the country is facing a recession and no other better software firm is hiring.

      Cons

      Faulty promotion and rewards structure. Mismanaged software projects. No organically built product, all acquired. Lot of stories from management, no actions.

      Pros

      Benefits training - CA Learning. Great tool to expose individuals to product.

      Cons

      *****Very interesting that US employees comment no job security as a Con and the folks form India comment job security as a Pro.******* Constant layoffs Frequent re-orgs consistantly changing focus difficult to achieve work/life balance without cost to career advancement There is a feeling that CA buys new companies only to move work to India (or China).

      Your work gets checked into a black-hole. CA has 0 experience 'building' a product.

      Pros

      If you are good, you will get opportunities to work on tough tasks. Works great if you are a sweet talker. That alone makes management very happy. If you are in Sales or Marketing, this is a great place to be. Not so much on the engineering side, see last point in cons.

      Cons

      Corresponding to the first pro point, you will not get growth and recognition for it. Frustrating if you don't know how to be servile toward the management even if you are the best technical person they may have. No flexibility in terms of time on the engineering side. Poor retention of great talent. Sub-par hiring. Poor technology choices. No experience building their own product, ever! They only acquire and sell.
