Pros

Well known company. Helps with vendor meetings and the prospect of a larger account creates interest for companies who want to do business with our group.

Cons

Leadership has no central focus. Good ideas from within are rarely embraced. A certain arrogance from headquarters believes that Nokia will tell the market what it wants, not the other way around.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
