Pros

Great benefits, very smart people to work with, flexible work hours, plenty of work. I enjoy working here and the vacation, 401k, and health insurance benefits are especially good. The people are extremely smart, top leaders in their technology fields. The office hours are 10am to 3pm so early or late schedules are both possible. There is lots of work. opportunities to be involved in project, and move around the company.

Cons

Salaries are just ok. Training programs not very good, it's a 'sink or swim' environment. Employees supposedly get 2 weeks of training per year, but that doesn't seem to happen. The project work can be scattered and disorganized. Documentation is not a priority and often software documentation is insufficient to really understand the functionality.

Care for People - for better or worse

Pros

The company cares for its people, often showing a lot of humanity and empathy for personal situation, allowing for (informal) flexible working arrangement, family leave, etc

Cons

The company is also crippled by its "care for people" philosophy, which is why there are managers and employees with sub-par performance who are forgiven and paid beyond their worth. Too French-centric
