Pros
Generous RSUs each quarter Team goals for sales commission, predictable SIP Management is not afraid to tell the customer no, and go into a legal battle with them
Cons
Not a technology company, there's no innovation, lots of divesting in R&D and business units. They are a license renewals and procurement company. They only talk to customers every 3 or 5 years when the ELA comes up. They hold customers hostage. Constantly laying people off, thousands at a time and not sure how they get away with not announcing or reporting to US regulators like other corporations have to. Creates a super toxic environment inside the company and they destroy every company they acquire. People who stay there long term have sold their soul for the RSU pay day. They are heavily medicated if they believe they are actually helping a customer or contributing to innovation.
