      Pros

      Great entry level software job. Better than selling cars.

      Cons

      Software sales seem to be headed in a different direction

      Silo'd, close minded and very short term driven

      Pros

      Free Lunch twice a week! Plus, unless you're working in sales or tech support, your pay is very good and so are the quarterly bonuses.

      Cons

      Management is extremely short term driven-they have blinders on. They would rather take $10 today then $100 tomorrow. This cojones to the wall approach only works for small startups, not 1000+ employee companies. If you disagree with them, you are publicly ridiculed and eventually pushed out either passive aggressively- through pay cuts, promotion denials, etc. If you're in the boys or girls club, take your beating like a good boy/girl and kiss heini, you will get promoted.

      This is a terrible place to work for.

      Pros

      They pay well compared to similar positions in other companies. The interview process was quite easy. Free food twice a week and good colleagues to bond with.

      Cons

      The place is very top heavy with management. Too little worker bees. Departments rarely communicate with each other. All the time, planning is done too little and too late so execution is poor. The company runs like a sprinter, not a marathon runner. Seems like they are trying to always take short cuts in hopes of lasting just long enough for a buyout. Also, be aware there is a lot of back stabbing and there are defined cliques in the company. New hires be aware.
