Pros

I do not get stock options every year. They usually come in 4 year chunks. The largest was 25k x 4 years so I used that as there was not an option for semi-yearly. Some years nothing. Love most of people I work with. Good collaboration. People work hard.

Cons

This is specific to SW support and development. Great place to work 30 years ago but no longer. Executives treat employees terribly. Managers can't manage. They are forced to do what they are told with little explanations provided. IBM dropped the 401k match a few years back . They use mandatory PIPs as a way to reduce headcount even if your team does not have low performers. We are just numbers. Everyone can be replaced. I am glad I am near retirement. If you are young , I would suggest starting a career somewhere else.
