Pros

There are great people to work with

Cons

Tons of politics. Architecture discussions are determined by the "strongest" manager even if it's the worst solution. Very low standards on code quality. Most of the work is maintenance. The preferred management choice for is always quick and dirty over well designed and scalable solutions. There is no place for creativity or new approaches, they go with what they know even if it's not working. Most of the managers are recruited from outside the company so there almost no room to be promoted, and no technological challenge. It's basically a grave yard for software engineers.

Pros

Benefits are great, random gifts throughout the year, top notch team support

Cons

Company is so compartmentalized no one team has any idea of what is going on with another, which is specifically frustrating when it comes to pay/commission. They keep purchasing other companies without properly integrating into the existing product and have to basically re-invent how to use the full potential of said product to interact with what they already have, leaving a lot to be desired. Hiring new positions with specific goals in mind, but have the same title so are treated the same when it comes to OTE creating a substantial pay cut. Especially when they are brought in to make certain parts of the team and product better.
