Pros

The vacation policy is really great. Salary is OK when you're hired. The people you work with are hit or miss. Not as high quality as I expected going in.

Cons

Most years there are no pay raises. When there are raises, they don't make up for all that you've lost. There are layoffs in R&D every year. The direction of the company seems to change every year. Wouldn't recommend it as a great place to work.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
