Pros
Industry Leader. Still a growth company. There are pockets of good people and good leaders. Broad product portfolio. Broad coverage of markets including consumer, enterprise, SMB and mid-market, which means more growth opportunities for employees. Location of San Jose, CA is also good as it is the mecca of high tech and attracts many great smart driven professionals. People do seem to be collaborative, more so in some of the other companies. Work life balance is being addressed more than other companies I've worked for and people do have the flexibility to work from home when needed and some people telecommute most of the time.
Cons
Too big. Beauracracy. Seniority matters more than results. Bad for young talents. I see innovation being stifled because it takes many councils and boards for the company to make up their mind. Compare this with Google or other more innovative companies, the structure of councils is really slowing things down and often time doesn't necessarily foster collaboration, rather it has fostered passive agressiveness, walking thru the formality etc. I've seen executives in disagreements in reality but always try to put on a facade of collaboration in these council meetings. It's disgusting. the folks in the trenches are good, but they are not empowered.
