Pros

Bonus structure is generous (or at least used to be 2009 and previous) Other employees are usually friendly Nice campus/amenities - fitness center, etc

Cons

No innovation - products are developed overseas for the most part. Although they profess to want to be innovative, they are adverse to the costs of actual R&D. Very much on rails - they want to produce the same products year over year for less cost. They want engineers, but don't seem to know what to do with them. Most of the engineers I know who work there are either in danger of losing their jobs or doing non-engineering tasks (ie, project management, marketing, etc)

Pros

the people on your team, lots of free food and snacks. sadly thats it

Cons

too many! ive done sales for a long time and i dont remember being in a place thats managed at this poor of a level. this is something you would expect from a start up company not fortune 50. your pay will constantly change and not for the better. they also do a lot of shady stuff with that. un-attainable quota for your account set that will end up putting you in a PIP situation which is basically where you will be let go cause you wont be able to finish it within 30 days. micromanaging using KPI's that make no sense so everyone's just faking them. top to bottom SMB is horrible and just not worth your time and effort. find another company thats more stable so you dont burn your time here and then just leave. everyone who got promoted to MB is either looking for another job, miserable or was let go.
