Pros

Long View can potentially be a good place to work. If you are willing to schmooze, play politics 8-5PM, then do your actual job 5PM-11PM. If you think IT begins and ends with Microsoft this may be a good place for you.

Cons

Long View did not practice what they preached in every sense of the word. Departments and entire branches competed against each other, often using less skilled resources in order to save a particular department or branch money. Good ideas do not win out here, the ones with the most abrasive personalities do. "Teamwork" was only existent in very small pockets. They preach "security" but do not practice access of least privilege, 2 factor security, or even have a decent password policy. Their strategy is dictated and you need to get on board.

Pros

Large Canadian presence and solid leadership from the top, but not so much in the Sales org

Cons

No marketing or demand generation makes it very hard on the sales team. Middle managers/VPs can be toxic depending on your location. No cohesion across departments.
