Pros

One of the biggest software companies in the world. It gives people the opportunity to work in almost any area, offering great career development opportunities.

Cons

The company is undergoing a big crisis now. It adopted too much of a defensive mode to reduce costs and short term investment plans to increase sales, not paying much attention to future technology evolution. Decision makers are 100% business oriented, while technology and R&D is taking a secondary role, not in charge of any decisions. Do not expect management or business people to understand technology at all, and do not expect a brilliant career if you are a technical expert. A huge mistake for a technology company that forgot about its roots.
