Pros

Not too bad a place for the short term. Managers apply pressure, but since they know little about the work, one learns to add buffers and they don't know the difference. Wages are average, so it is a good place to park while looking for another job.

Cons

Middle-level managers --- not just a few, all of them -- do not take their customer's long-term welfare of their employee's long-term welfare into consideration. They also seem to care overly about cozying up to their bosses than actually delivering results. As long as something looks good on paper, it is fine if the foundations are hollow. Meanwhile, the senior managers keep pushing down a new managerial fad every now and then. It would be funny if it weren't such a depletion of true enterprise value.

Pros

Great environment, the culture is truely incresible

Cons

Slight last of confidence in the future. Recent re-orgs, very single threaded in critical support areas, and ambiguity around when functionalities/tech will be launch give a bit of concern.

Pros

The salary is good if you negotiate at entry into the company. They also have a good bonus structure when you hit the marks and get it. People in product and services are generally good people.

Cons

Raises are almost non-existent, if you get promoted, it is almost as if you didn't get a raise. Being in services is almost like living under a rock, you will not get visibility in any other area of the company. Extremely HIGH turnover in consultants and leadership. Not somewhere I would recommend somewhere who wants to learn and continuously grow in their career in the long term.
