      Good for job safety, not great for personal development, pay is not great either

      Pros

      Depending on what department you're in, you might get to work on interesting projects with smart people. Job safety. Work on own products instead of outsourced projects.

      Cons

      If unlucky, you may get stuck fixing bugs on products that are in the maintenance stage. For years. The initial salary offer is OK especially at junior developer level, but subsequent raises are unimpressive, generally not even covering inflation levels. Training opportunities are limited.

      Good way to start out of college

      Pros

      Really good environment and space. Managers and team are cool. Never had to work overtime or too much.

      Cons

      Pay is average by industry standards, nothing too great. Managers and technical leads are often at odds. Bonuses often awarded to management at the expense of technical talent, while we're told company didn't do too well this year, so here's your pittance.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are smart and friendly Used to pay well but not much in terms of rewards, bonuses etc

      Cons

      Management doesnt have clear goals. Some of the managers are downright horrible. They micromanage people. Not a lot of opportunity to grow. Not much in terms of salary hike, bonus etc
