Business Outlook
Pros
The interaction between groups at CA has been pretty good. Whenever I needed to locate someone with expertise in an area, it was always fairly easy to do so and led to mostly headache-free interactions. They are very flexible with work schedules, time off, and working from home.
Cons
There is very little leadership shown in the engineering management at CA. The company buys software to expand its portfolio, generating almost none through home-grown development. The employees of the acquired companies all eventually leave and the software is left to flounder until it dies out. Rinse and repeat. There is an ever-present fear of layoffs, though less so than a few years ago. Most of the engineering jobs were shipped to India and China.
