Pros

Easy environment, some decent people, technology okay as long as you stay away from core products. Great 9-5 job. Wonderful location and a large company with the ability to change positions in the company if you so desire.

Cons

Upper Management needs to go. Ridiculous spending by the marketing and sales team while company freezes salaries for years at a time. Favoritism and office politics galore. Crazy management that gets more and more 'interesting' as you go up the org chart. Its an experience for sure.

Pros

Great company with nice people, convenient location, lot of opportunities to learn new stuff, you can always find good people to help you on technical problems and give you suggestions on how to setup your develop environment. Work is not so hard and everybody has the chance to learn and to practice the cutting edge technologies. Good sales team makes great profit for this company so that the company is silll pretty stable in this down economic situation. There are a lot of good restaurants around the headquarter of the company, so that you can easily to taste many good foods. And of course its location is nice to have you commute since penn station is just downstairs.

Cons

not too much growth recently, some people leave because the company is too stable. Short of challenges, the work is not that interesting since most of the development and products are middleware so that the developers can not see the result and can't feel the excitement when they see the users are really using their products. It's not easy for the employee to talk with high level people, actually we have a lot of suggestions on how to manage the company better and even which products we feel more worth to build and sell. There are too many QAs and product managers.

Pros

Benefits, health insurance package and location

Cons

Company has been downsizing and very little advancement possible. No salary increases for over 5 years. If your looking to work for a company with long term growth this is not the place to be. The entire staff is worried about losing their jobs, rumours and buyouts. Company tried to sell years ago. Depending on who you work for, it can be a miserable experience. My director rarely was in the office and major discrimination prevailed. The worst working environment I've even seen. Promotions and increases in salary (rarely) were rarely based on productivity.
