Pros

standard 401k and company match, standard health coverage and benefits. There are some really smart people working here.

Cons

Where do I begin? - very dark, negative work environment. they are really good at deflating whatever self esteem people come in with and make you question how you got there -QBRs can be a public shaming event, leadership get their rocks off on grading people's presentations, as if this is the end all, be all. rather than trying to figure out how they can best support reps, they end up demotivating the team, and morale is way down. -You're out of the field more often than you are in the field doing internal meetings - powerpoint decks are 70-100+ slides deep. On a good day, it's 50 slides. imagine you're the prospect sitting through 50-70 slides of information. Prospects probably want to wrap things up after 20 slides. Imagine having to put together said deck and have to go through at least 5-10 iterations of slideware and internal critique. -Very dated practices, dated looking software, customers compare it to looking like windows 95. As opposed to more forward thinking companies in the software industry where prospects can do trials or demos and move to POC fairly quickly, they wade through and are mired in heavy powerpoint presentations and stuck in this mentality of "this is the way it's always been done" rather than being flexible/nimble/agile. -If the software works, it's a miracle

Pros

If you are on the right project (not working a lot of overtime) then flexible working schedule and environment. Good employees to work with.

Cons

Has gone steadily downhill since the drastic management changes over the past couple of years. You should not expect a lot of opportunity for career growth here. Also, do not expect to make much money over your base salary, very poor yearly bonus/profit sharing and extremely low yearly salary increase over the past few years. Office culture and morale plummeted over the past two years.

Pros

Nice, bright interiors. Open space with lot of light.

Cons

They have their own internal tools, developer environment etc. Very archaic technologies used. One example is : they use Excel sheet to manage Sprint, tasks and estimates. People in my team work in silos. Very hostile environment. Not good for diverse people. There is no team work and collaboration.
