Pros

A great place to be in. A very tech savvy company, invest a lot in technology. A very competitive environment. A very casual environment.

Cons

1. Pay scales are not competitive. 2. HR policies are not in black and white. 1/10 in score. 3. Sr. management are not far sighted. Self centered to core. They cannot think anything beyond their own cuts from projects. 4. Consulting has about 80% travels. PM tends to tweak and flaunt immigration policies for their own benefits and the scrape goats are mostly the humble consultants. Some countries don't have proper cash flows so consultants may end up exhausting their own funds and raising expenses are pain in a**. 5. Attrition is very high in all departments, like support, engineering, consultancy compared to other product company. Due to which the knowledge drain is too high.

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.
