Pros

OK Salary, Ability to telecommute (if you are in the right organization unit), Good talent and nice people to work with.

Cons

A 5 Billion (billions with a B) dollars debt!!!! Minimal raises, low bonuses (even to high performers), lower than average benefits: very high deductible health insurance, minimal 4.01K match (only if the company meets its quarterly numbers), brutal layoff of good people on a quarterly basis, low moral and motivation as people are constantly concerned about their job security.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
