Pros

There are a lot of opportunities. Technology company with lots of weight to throw around.

Cons

Politics and more politics. The director level managers are more oncerrned about their jobs and review then those who work for them. No alignment to industry - those on the inside that say how it is in industry are quickly overcome by those who have made a career of navigating the organisation - in other words, don't listen to people from the industry trying to make a change, listen to those who just move from job to job and know how to navigate that...

Pros

pay, vacation time accrued from working many years

Cons

they are downsizing so much less opportunity than they had in the past. benefits are decreasing. the wrong people are getting promoted for the wrong activity. best people are leaving the company. shift to cloud will mean far fewer roles.
