Pros

Great practices in QA. Good experience for better than sweat shop software development. Probably not a place for long term employment as there is a lot of college recruitment done meaning you are working with people aren't quite always following good standards as they're still learning them. I think though overall though this company does a good job. The activities are good and HR is really good.

Cons

Sometimes there's really unrealistic expectations due to the company being very top heavy. There's a lot of sales work done and deals are made w/out consulting dev teams about anything. The pay is at average or below average.

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
