Pros

People working here are great. Lots of employee activities. Salary starts decent but is heavily based on non-guaranteed bonus.

Cons

A lot of management is inept. No real room to advance unless you have connections or suck up. A lot of turnover in departments where good employees are getting frustrated. Hard to know what is expected of you. You can work really hard for years to watch promotions and acknowledgement go to whoever took your credit for your work. Company succeeds on the super hard work of the lower employees. You have to document everything because upper levels are always looking for someone to blame. Some employees have to record conversations and get everything on paper.

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
