      Pros

      Well defined development practices and streamlined work. Organized company structure with transparent growth chart. Regular discussions with manager(s) for keeping career goals in-sync.

      Cons

      Lack of social events especially for new hires. Software development purely C++ oriented with little or no scope of experience in other platforms.

      Pros

      I was working with good people who were very smart. The pay and vacation / benefits are really good. Management was very nice and approachable.

      Cons

      Work schedule was very hectic - on the phone with India all the time. No real help from management. Very old code base needed to be maintained, all using clearcase and perl. Team culture was OK, be prepared for a lonely cube life.

      Great people, bad management

      Pros

      Some really smart and great people here. Most of my coworkers are nice and want to make quality products. People are willing to share their knowledge with you.

      Cons

      Management is really bad. There is no training for management. People regularly yell in the hallways. If your manager is bad, you can't rely on HR as they are a joke. All management cares about is getting more time out of you for less money.
