Pros

Fair compensation and benefits, very smart engineering teams, great products. Very challenging problems to work on now and in the future

Cons

Little to no upward mobility and same managers get recycled even after failing. Most managers in roles because of old boys network and lack leadership / charisma. Too safe in decisions - good for short term but mentality prevents risk taking that could lead to real growth.

Pros

The business is doing well and there are people outside of IT who who value your work

Cons

Difficult to know where to start when the management is just so appallingly bad. Complete and utter unappreciation for your efforts. Increased use of offshoring and lack of management accountability. Management is very quick to take credit for other peoples work. Projects are managed poorly. People here do not manage. They co-ordinate. The bar is set so low. No motivation for people to improve
