Pros

Very reasonable work-life balance. Nice paid time off policy.

Cons

If you have any creativity, this place will zap it out of you. Every project is micro managed and programmers are given no leeway in design decisions. Developers are treated as code monkeys instead of intelligent professionals.

Pros

Extremely challenging and broad product portfolio. Responsibility for all marketing channels, GSIs and partner marketing including global tradeshows and events.

Cons

Poorly trained management using legacy techniques for employee satisfaction and productivity. Required to report to office under micro-management as a team of one reporting to a remote sales director when the work required would be better suited to a team of 3. Missed opportunities due to lack of global vision and inability to create product documents for marketing. Failure to promote any females to leadership roles, and suspect behaviors in office.
