Pros

You may get a decent manager, but umm, good luck.

Cons

-Culture: they pride themselves on culture and being a system of engagement, but that is a joke. The system is driven by customer's complaining and zero data. Product manager do not even use data driven decisions. -Middle management is terribly mean and jaded; they only manage upwards. -Your success is dependent upon one variable: how much you try to look like you work as opposed to being evaluated on your actual work.

Pros

The best technology and software in this industry. Company is moving in the right direction to take over the enterprise software market

Cons

Terrible pay, benefits, and culture. If you worked at PeopleSoft, or are one of the rare "chosen ones" who happen to fall into favor with the PeopleSofters, you walk on water. You get all of the promotions, merit, bonuses, stock, and compensation. You can be in the field and have a reputation of being awesome, but your direct management team won't recognize you, promote you, pay you, or develop you. Dave Duffield is definitely no longer around, and he took his culture and values with him, no matter what the company wants you to believe. Taking your comments all the way to senior leadership just gets you black balled and retaliated against. This is from personal experience, as after I raised my concerns, a large piece of compensation I was promised was mysteriously denied by upper management with no explanation given.
