      Excellent benefits, services, training, not very tech focused.

      Pros

      The benefits are top notch I doubt many companies will provide better. The job training is the best I've ever been offered. The company is very serious about retaining top talent. The work environment is very friendly and low stress.

      Cons

      Management does not understand technology. Patents are more important than open source and they want to convert everything to Microsoft. Switching from SVN to TFS was an upper management decision when it should be an engineer's decision. Virtual machine provision is locked behind archaic red tape.

      Pros

      Paychecks Occurred. Fun to work along with so many women coders for a change.

      Cons

      They do not know how to run a software company. No working from home, extra hours expected always, tense working environment every day. Management is ex-military style, they do not care about you. Everything is CYA. No time or room for innovation. Worst "software" company I ever worked for. Idiots micro-managing professionals. Constant fire-fight because they will not invest to get things done right and within reasonable time frames. Biggest tight wad / penny pinchers I've ever seen. Only get paid once a month!

      Pros

      I like some of the people I work with.

      Cons

      Middle management is incompetent. They don't know anything about the software we are supporting, therefore they have unrealistic expectations of results.
