Pros

Solid workforce, especially from the technology side

Cons

Terrible strategy, organization and goals. But that is the nature of the tech business. Tenure over talent and you can get very pigeon-holed, especially into tech. Management is never in place long enough to implement their strategy and everyone suffers the wrath of sales-based management with tech left fixing everything while the sales jerks sit on the beach with all the $. Many unqualified people in high places which makes upward mobility brutal for those up-n-coming rock stars. Compensation is supposedly performance based, unless the company or your division under-performs, then they steal your $ like in 2013 when only 25% of bonuses were paid, even if you exceed your numbers by a large margin. Many VP's who know little about the technologies that they represent creates embarrassing situations in front of customers.

Pros

Depth, history, and a willingness to change

Cons

Wants to be the next big cloud play when hugely late in the game with with people that are all about on-prem ERP. Really complex place to work, just like their systems.

Pros

Ability to work virtual from anywhere in the world A stable, long-term career if you want it Lots of smart people to learn from Looks nice on your resume (which I've heard numerous times since working here...like this should compensate for everything else...)

Cons

Not a lot of opportunity for career growth - you can stay where you are for 20 years if you want Top-down mandate for strategy - often with no actual insight into the problems they are trying to solve Lots of strategic changes being made without a real vision of what the changes are attempting to accomplish Quite high turnover in product management Low pay for equivalent position in other companies in the Silicon Valley market Flex hours can mean working 12-18+ hours per day during busy times
