Pros

Covered parking... but cars get broken into.

Cons

The top management is basically not fit to run the company. They pretend to know everything but when someone tries to tell them they are wrong, they refuse to listen. They refuse to make any decision leaving the projects in limbo. If you are not their buddy, forget getting raises (even basic cost of living). Too much politics and projects are assigned to people who cannot even tie their shoe laces. Most of the management were buddies in their previous workplace and after one gets in here, he/she will bring the rest of them. Once they are in, each of them reward each other w/ bonuses and high pay. Most of the work is outsourced to India and the management of that task is horrible. Too many VPs and PMs in the company and once people get promoted, they quickly quit the company. Your manager does not perform your yearly evaluation, but the PM for the project does. Go figure!

Pros

Pay is pretty good and the people are good to work with. In my particular case I can work from home a lot, but they aren't allowing that as much any more. The technology is ok to work with for the most part.

Cons

Large enterprise issues like complete hard drive encryption that slows the machines substantially. Work isn't too challenging and there isn't a lot of room for creativity. No Macs allowed. The management talks of Best in Class software, but it isn't supported from top to bottom. E.g., we must use IBM Rational Functional Tester even though developers and QA all dislike it. We have to use ClearCase even though nobody likes it. We say we want best in class, but look to develop mobile solutions that are lowest common denominator-driven for ease of cross platform development (iOS & Android). There isn't a EVP of Product Design, which I believe is required if you want best in class products.
