Pros

Pay's OK. 3 weeks vacation is nice. Interesting work at times. For the most part, the people you work with are very competent, interesting, and professional. Peers tend to be very helpful and willing to help. Genuine desire to do what's right for the customer and to produce good products with in the constraints imposed by poor upper management.

Cons

Lousy senior management that's only looking out for themselves. No job security unless you're working in India. Many people train their overseas replacements. Each year real compensation drops as cost of benefits goes up. Lots of hurry up and wait. Don't expect a severance package when you're finally laid-off. Lots of pressure.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
