Pros

Overall a good culture and decent pay and perks. Not a "slave driver" mentality. Friday Beer-Bash is a great way to end the week. Facilities are very good.

Cons

401k match is poor. Upper management is very weak. Processes and tools are fairly weak. Lots of re-orgs and lay-offs.

Pros

Lots of history and a good track record of making technical advancements. Competitive pay.

Cons

As a 20+ year old tech company, they have a lot of home grown tools that are not as modern as open source alternatives. Things like burt (a homegrown bug reporting tool) that would be better swapped for bugzilla. The language of choice for QA is perl, where most of the rest of the world moved to Python 10 years ago. And finally, in 2015 they implemented a security measure called the Dome that forces all engineers to access their engineering work via a remote desktop to a virtual machine. The whole engineering network is disconnected from the world. You can't access the web from the Dome. You can't get your mail from the dome. So, half of your work is on your laptop's interface and the other half is from this cut off environment where doing necessary things like system updates is exponentially harder than it should be.

Pros

Great talent, good people, competitive compensation and benefits. When the subject of conversation is what we're working on and how we're doing our jobs, people are motivated and creative. Unfortunately, the company no longer values those qualities.

Cons

Morale is poor and the future is shaky. Everyone has to watch their back. Do not recommend to new hires. Employees cannot trust anyone in upper management. CEO uses silly words like "transformation" what he means is major layoffs and outsourcing to India. No innovation anymore, just working and reworking of old technology.
