Pros

There are some good people working here but many of the best seem to be leaving in frustration. Management seem to be trying to implement better practices for employee engagement but they are at least 10 years behind everyone else.

Cons

Due to rapid rate of acquisitions recently, there is a highly bloated middle-management layer that is desperately trying to justify its existence by creating more red tape and barriers to open and constructive communication. Salary and benefits are poor-to-average and there aren't really any unique perks to speak of. Has some good products but ineffectual middle and upper management are stifling innovation and customers are paying the price. Work/life balance is non-existent once you get to a certain level within the company - they own you!

Pros

A technology company so far behind that there is always interesting projects going on. In the past year executive leadership seems to have some focus and it does not feel like organization ADD. Benefits are very competitive.

Cons

A very consistent pattern of RIF's every few months. It is interesting that it is not always the lower performers, be very careful expressing an opinion for progress to middle management or you will very likely find yourself on the next RIF list. This is a management team that thinks they know it all. There are very few examples of leaders in this group, most are bosses, will make sure to tell you how to do the job. If you are coming in make sure to get a very good understanding of the expectation of role and responsibilities. If you are skilled you will be taken advantage of and asked to contribute at higher grade levels but performance and advancement is very subjective and there is no transparency in organizations like IT about what it takes to move to next levels. Unless of course you are playing that middle management stroking feathers game right..
