Pros

Flexible management style (not over your shoulder) Flexible working hours and probably the best software library you can get at the moment. Plenty of online training available. Autonomous working attitude, self service concept. Higher management excel at investing and in the art of finance, cash flow and customer base has currently no match in this line of business.

Cons

Middle management a little bit too remote and stretched. Too many procedures, as can be seen in most comments about this company. Hardly any pay rise can keep motivation low especially when performance reviews are good. Global teams means that in some departments, there is no sense of belonging to a team as there is little to no communication among employees. It appears that management recently tried to resolve this issue by suddenly discouraging home working habits but the core issue is a middle management issue, not individual contributors whose efficiency can sometimes outperform that of their peers in the office.

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.
