Pros

Some top notch people still, everyone I work with on a daily basis is willing to jump in and help. Technology is good but no longer great. Focused on solving customer challenges, not just pushing kit.

Cons

Leadership is failing the folks that remain. Communicating details on changes is slow or non-existent. Over reliance on other vendors to help make our technology relevant. Not retaining the best people anymore Cutting too much muscle and missing too much fat still

Pros

If you find the right position and work with a honorable group this is a great place to work. I quote one of the TMEs "I love this job! It's like being retired and collecting a paycheck".

Cons

There was no personal growth, no upward mobility, horrible salary increases, poor review processes. As an example, they use laddering to rate every person and enforce the bell curve so if you have a small team, the curve is skewed and a team of top performers could not all be ones or twos.

Pros

Nice campus and facilities. Volunteer time off.

Cons

Company shutdowns force one to use vacation days or take days w/o pay ... effectively reducing your salary. Process, process, process. Too much process. Nobody is empowered to do anything or make any decisions. Too many layers of management, most of it wasting resources already in short supply. Too much time and effort spent on meta issues and meta-meta issues. Too much emphasis on being nice and polite _all_ the time. No room for those that don't drink the Kool-Aid. Management too focused on managing Wall Street numbers. Too worried about "optics" and spinning metrics.
