Pros

Great pay and benefits. Excellent new facility in Cary, NC. Opportunity to really contribute to the success of a major company in global technology.

Cons

As with any large corporation, change is hard. They want to operate their new NC campus like a startup, but they have 150 years of corporate culture to change.

Company is in complete disarray

Pros

Ability to telecommute if your management allows it. Bonuses are still provided if applicable due to performance. No further pros.

Cons

Massive layoffs and restructuring as the result of the retail separation. Morale is very low especially for employees who were in departments that were eliminated and given the option to apply for newly created positions that are identical to their former role that was eliminated. Others are nervous if they will have a job. Work environment is challenging as there are rarely any procedures in place to guide employees to perform their jobs well. Poor or no communication among teams which leads to projects failing miserably or delays in deployment. Clueless and largely absent management that are unable to provide adequate guidance to their employees. The company has changed for the worst in the past 10+ years that I have been here.
