Pros

Great benefits. Fellow employees at the same level are friendly, competent and believe in teamwork.

Cons

Top heavy managment. A six member team will have three layers of management before the senior managment level. No faith in management. Decisions are made in a vacuum without considering the impact on the people who have to perform the work. Managment is viewed as being very arogant becasue of this type of behavior. The 80/20 rule is the norm - 20% of the people are doing 80% of the work.

Pros

Total compensation package (salary, bonus, benefits, 401K) excellent.

Cons

Too many managers trying to align themselves with members of upper management. Too many managers who protect their "own" people at the expense of others. Average performers retained, top performers downsized. Sales reps looking over their shoulders at all times, wondering when their time will come.

Pros

You get paid a lot with great benefits for the amount of work required of you. The HQ is the nicest building I've ever worked in. Stock Options (RSUs) for all.

Cons

Very little communication. Company is headed downhill. People have massive egos because they have big titles but little responsibilities. You need to be able to stroke people's egos and be a yes-man to be successful. Management never fixes long-standing problems. Business practices aren't always ethical but it takes a while to figure that out. Nobody does anything which is really frustrating if you are trying to accomplish something....or worse, need to accomplish something.
