Pros

Job stability, interesting problem and challenging work environment, smart engineering staff. Good growth for the last decade.

Cons

less diversified workforce.You rarely see non-Asian engineers there, management from top down are all from one country. Some politics there for fighting different directions for product.

Don't work there as a contractor

Pros

As a contractor, my boss was very firm about me working only 40 hours a week.

Cons

I worked there as a contractor for a couple of years and was treated like a second class citizen. My boss kept me in the dark regarding everything, saying that she was protecting me. She never invited me to meetings and micromanaged me at every turn.

Pros

I find the job itself challenging as it offers the opportunity to work with many different operating systems and databases. The team I work in is top notch and for that reason again it is pleasant to work here as you know you are part of a team that achieves well. The benefits package seems pretty good and I feel that I am well paid for the job I do. I also find the role of support rather than administration a challenge and much more exciting than the unix/dba background I came from. We also get more recognition than most support teams I think, I do not know of other organisations that have a global support kick off each year, we've been to Paris, Beijing and Toronto and each time we go it is a total blast.

Cons

If I had to make a criticism it would be that I honestly do not know where I would go next. I am committed to remaining in support however I am not aware of another organisation where I would work with a similar breadth of technologies. Also, here we manage our cases from 'cradle to grave' as opposed to the traditional 1st, 2nd and 3rd line approach. If I were then to move to somewhere like that I would be stuck with either losing some of the technical depth I enjoy or alternately losing some of the customer contact, neither of which I would be happy with.
