Going downhill fast, upper management sees you as a peasant.

Steady job. Same sex benefits. Fun Halloween parties. Depending on your department training is good. Some jobs will get you cert sponsorship.

Pros

Nice office location. Artwork all over the walls makes it a living art museum in a way. One of the larger employers in the bay area.

Cons

This is tough to say, but the company is simply not what it used to be. In the last year or two many new senior managers have been brought in to affect change. Change may have been necessary to take the company to the next level, but it has come at a very high price of lost talent. Attrition is very high, and management seems to be ok with that. People have been quietly walked out the door, titles and reporting structures changed without any announcements, etc. The water cooler conversations have gone from how we can make a better organization to who just turned in their 2 weeks notice and who's next. Recruiters are crawling all over existing employees trying to drag them to other firms. Senior management may so it back and say that this is all part of the plan or all necessary in order to change the firm. However, they're really hurting morale and don't realize that what they are losing will only cause more problems. This firm was profitable and successful before the new regime arrived. Time will tell of it still will be when they're done.

Pros

Strong community presence, good company reputation. Used to be an exciting, fun place to work with team environment and support system. Company prided itself and rewarded supervisors for employee career growth and employees for short and long term achievements.

Cons

New IT senior management are in experiment mode trying to find direction. High turnover, off shoring to multiple countries, key experts jumping ship. IT talent & brain drain in high gear and for some horrifying reason, no one seems to care. The best managers and technical people were the first to find jobs leaving the mediocre to lead the rest of us. Killer hours, below market pay, and the promise of being reviewed on a bell curve. And being told to expect this as the new normal. Really.
