Pros

Good compensation. Company gives annual increases. Stay long enough, you can make a great salary.

Cons

Frequent layoffs. Company regularly brings in consultants leading to regular layoffs that seem to be tied to how much you make.

Pros

Very little to offer outside of good benefits. If you can manage to score a severance package, I hear its pretty good

Cons

*Horrible work environment *Business units are silos that work independent of the greater good. Very segmented with no common goal. * Upper management uncommunicative and short sited. Dishonest. * Employees are not appreciated. * Most good sales and management staff have left. * Culture of fear

Sr. management is too terrified to do anything new, gets in each others way, and is too slow on everything.
