Pros

Decent pay, decent discount...... the hours are ok....its a job.....lots of younger people with more energy to work, and to get things done

Cons

Long hours, not enough pay for experience, too much of the blame game from management, when you need tools to get the job done you constantly have to fight with managers for the tools to do the job, management just wants you to sell constanly without regard to the customers real needs or desires....too many people who get moved up or get let go for little to no reason other than favoritsm....the managers really need to get a clue and not constantly try to micromanage employess in their jobs when the employess have way more experience than that manager....if you are experienced and knowledgeable look elsewhere for employment.....

Pros

Great salary , bonus and RSUs

Cons

Management still thinks of products as projects and doesn't fund appropriately. Some areas are ahead in tech, some areas aren't. Too many ex-Accenture VPs and up. Hard to promote junior employees, yet VPs/ SVPs promoted frequently. DO BOTH. Weird communication across pyramids.
