Pros

Company overall is fine. Fast-paced.

Cons

Environment at certain department can be very toxic and stressful - lots of politics, lack of respect from management to employees, and a waste of money on unnecessary deliverable/resource.

Pros

Smart people, many passionate developers and architects Good pay and benefits Many old-timers still with the company providing continuity

Cons

The most relationship-oriented culture I have experienced (rather than results or accomplishments oriented) Frequent (every 6 months) major reorgs Very political R&D execs - almost exclusively managing up Most planning discussions rotate around what CEO, CPO or other execs want to hear, and what will make our exec look good, not around what the market or customers need Many great people have left, especially senior people who joined recently Many old-timers are great, but there are too many over-promoted old-timers resting on their laurels

Pros

the salary and benefits were good. it's a large enough company to provide plenty of paths for career advancement. it's small enough that there aren't too many hurdles/bureaucracy impeding productivity. the company is well positioned compared to its competitors. they offer an employee stock purchase plan, which is a pretty good value. the company events can be pretty fun. we went on a few trips.

Cons

the projects were pretty boring. the software development process is characterized by periods of low pressure and boredom followed by periods of high pressure (possibly working weekends) before a new release of a software product.
