Pros

Great benefits packages - medical, dental, 401K, access to resources. Ability to work from home.

Cons

Annual pay increases for all employees to adjust for inflation in addition to merit pay increases. Many employees did not receive compensation for several years because of limited budget increases. Promotions were given without additional compensation except for future stock options. Corporate structure and management are out of touch with employee needs. Frequent changes in strategies. High workloads due to reduction in force. When transitioning from Hourly to Management all vacation hours were forfeited without the employees knowledge due to unlimited vacation policy. Management vacation time is frowned upon due to workloads. Most moves to a new job is a lateral move with no compensation.

Pros

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Cons

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
