Pros

Technical team is great, if cliquish. Benefits are solid company is financially solid, top management is sincere. Has large industry foot print.

Cons

Management is shaky at times, blames individual contributors for management failures. Does not always give notice nor severance. Small cubes, crowded noisy floors, hard to get creative. Lower and middle management does nto get enough or proper training.

Pros

-nice technology and opportunity to learn a lot -chance to see a company that is doing well finally -many interesting people to meet -if you can play politic you can definitely success there -good benefits

Cons

-they don't focus on employees. they don't care if you stay with them or not -overall communication with management is terrible. There are some 1st level mgmt that are fine but majority of them are only interested in their own carrier and bonuses -commuting to chertsay is really bad -there are really nice people who work there but because work balance is bad you don't have a chance to socialize -stats driven environment; a lot of politic -came to Glassdoor because I'm looking for a new job. seeing so many high positive review about the company I'm very suspicious that many of these can be fakes
