Pros

Competitive salary, decent benefits. Peers really work hard. Free coffee.

Cons

Where to start...dysfunction is rampant in pretty much every level of management. HR is incompetent and not there for the employees. If you dare to file an ethics complaint know that it isn't anonymous.... You will become a target and the illegal and/or immoral activities will be ignored. And you will be outed to the person or persons you filed against. You are expected to work when you take sick days and vacation. You are expected to be on conference calls during your off hours into late evenings and weekends. If you disagree with how things are run, and you would have to be blind to not see the utter chaos, you will be labeled a complainer. And if you have always been a strong performer at other mature companies get ready to get the worst review ever. Unless,of course,you keep your mouth shut and don't ever point out the idiocy. There is no way this company will ever have major market share. They have no clue how to run a truly world class company. And acquiring IBM will do no good. I wonder how long it will take to destroy any of the good IBM brings....probably not long. Absolute worst experience I have ever had in my 25+ years in the workforce. Glad I will soon break out of the asylum!!

Pros

The benefits are good as is the 401 k but beyond that not much else of redeeming quality. Hard to find much else.

Cons

Management is completely inept. They do not support their teams in any way beyond panicked directive to " get things done. " Very " Clicky" amongst and within crews and that is the only thing management seems to support.
