Pros

Very progressive work culture which promoted collaboration and innovation. When I first got there in 2001 the benefits were 100% paid for by the company. When the bubble burst they took more and more money out of our paychecks each year. By the time I left in 2007 they were growing and starting to reward for performance.

Cons

No work from home arrangements although I understand they have relaxed that to some degree over the past few years. Many reorgs over the years which can create instability and confusion. There always seemed to be an annual reorg which put everyone on edge.

Pros

The company is large which provides a lot of good opportunity and the focus on social responsibility is pretty inspiring. Communication pushed down from top is usually clear and consistent across organizations.

Cons

There are way too many reorganization exercises. Even when you're not directly impacted, you are 2 degrees of separation from someone who is and the culture/ work morale can be taxing. Communication from the "trenches" seems to lose meaning as it gets pushed up to upper management ... like the telephone game.

Pros

Highly regarded SW Solution company, constantly expanding offerings through corp. acquisitions... possibly too quickly. Dedicated employees & co-workers, good benefits.

Cons

Sales quota's unrealistic & unattainable for 3rd tier SAP offering; which falls far behind behind Software & Professional Services, yet quota's are higher??? Poor communication among sales divisions & misc. product teams who could have easily benefitted and improved sales opportunities collaborating as a "team". If you do not work in the software sales division, you have work cut-out for yourself, selling value as a 2nd/3rd string team member, before you even get to work with "external" customers! viewed as step-child once removed & rarely invited to come to the party. Unfortunately I reported to a insecure, micro-manager with no people skills who was very narrow minded & operated with a stove pipe mentality, she felt threatened by anyone who thought "outside the box" or dare question her directives.
