Pros

The environment is great. The people are great. Right off the bat they gave me a great offer, which was one that I had "requested" by mistake. They met all my financial expectations. They have great flexibility with schedules and are very understanding about life outside of work so long as you leave your life outside of work.

Cons

Poor training and management. If you like figuring out what to do on your own, this is a pro. There is very little direction beyond "we need to do better." Management is too busy putting out fires to actually manage a team and give useful feedback. In fear of offending individuals, personal feedback is often given in the form of generic statements to the entire team, leaving everyone to wonder if they need to make any changes personally.

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
