Pros

-Decent benefits and pay -Great product -Sound business model that is growing internationally -Good disaster recovery plan in the event of a tornado

Cons

-Very political environment. You must ingratiate yourself with your rater to get a decent rating on their outdated bell curve performance review model. -Replacement culture. They would hire people they don't know that well from the outside rather than develop the people already working there. -Human Resources is completely broken. Employee satisfaction is very low and HR is completely ineffective. -Overstaffed organization creates an organization that is complicated and inefficient.
