Pros
Great place for brown nosers. You don't have to do actual work, just stroke the correct egos and use buzz words in meetings, or just ask random questions (with no real weight to them)during area meetings. Bring up problems, dont worry about solutions, not the point to fix anything. Unlimited vacation
Cons
Finding the correct person whose ego to stroke may take some time. Software management is clueless on how to run a software organization. They have no future roadmap (v2.0 of current SW does not count). Mgmt team has no desire to grow employees. Work from home is DISCOURAGED, even though they claim it as a perk. Working from home is held against you in very subtle ways (general meetings will not provide call in info, you will be ignored when you do come to office). Work from home employees are often an afterthought. Pay is below the national average for roles. Pay raises, bonuses are sometimes non-existent. Pay raises fall below cost of life raise percentage. Lexmark is a good ol' boy club.
