Sterling Commerce – “Fantastic work place where you are really cared about”

Pros

People are approachable and friendly, and most of the work gets done without too much prodding (usually)
Salary is great
Employees are treated with respect.
If you want to take up some initiative, the management is always there to support you and help you as long as you take the lead and take the project to completion.

Cons

The workforce is small which also means that most of the 'happening' stuff takes place in offices with a bigger staff.
Career growth not very high unless you can move your ranks to management quickly, which is difficult.

Advice to Senior Management

The new acquisition by IBM is a good business strategy for the company, but the startup culture of the company will get taken away. This can't be stopped if the integration is to be complete, but sad nonetheless.
