Pros

Flexible work hours and ability to be virtual. Lots of great people.

Cons

Executive leadership is always changing which causes restructures, policy changes, and budget impacts. Always feel like you are looking over your shoulder for the next round of lay offs.

Pros

Company was really good a few years ago. Has good work from home options (depends on the group you are working for). Benefits are generally good, but change based on company's performance - Yes even the 401k match etc keep changing year after year....

Cons

Now a days its lacking new and innovative ideas. Too much legacy baggage that they can't get rid of. Salaries are lower than market average. Growth potential is not that good either. Lots of layoffs and projects being moved off shore.

Company in crisis

Pros

Flexible work arrangements. Advanced technology solutions. Good voice customer base. Solid benefits. Good work environment. Solid people to work with.

Cons

Having tremendous trouble growing revenue. Hired a consulting firm to create a sales culture as there is none now. Turning the sales force upside down to try and get better performance. Data Networking unit is struggling. Data Brand is tarnished in US and is not well recognized in IT community so US is a very difficult market to penetrate and grow. Voice telephony business is under attack by numerous cloud voice providers, Cisco, and Microsoft and being rapidly commoditized. Regular layoffs to keep the profits stable quarter to quarter.
