Pros

If you find yourself in the "Right" organization within the company, there are many benefits. If you don't, your experience may be vastly different. In some organizations: - More stable parts of the organization provide a feeling of job security - its common for people to leave and come back a few months/years later - Lots of opportunity for working across teams and getting exposure to different areas - Unlimited vacation (not applicable to all orgs and not all countries)

Cons

- It seems that the company is constantly reorganizing, so if you find yourself in a less stable part of the organization, expect to have a new role and new management chain at least every year, if not even more often. - If you are fortunate enough to be in a more stable part of the company, there is much more security but little room for upward growth and development - The typical red tape exists, as expected at any mega company of this size

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.
