      Pros

      The company provides some employees with good levels of career opportunity.

      Cons

      Top management has little or no understanding or appreciation of the work being performed in some functional areas, and they don't have the neccessary skills to understand or appreciate it. Of course they think they know, and they won't accept that they really don't. Top management do not seem qualified to hold the positions they do.

      Nice place to learn but ready to be disappointed.

      Pros

      Depending on which team you work, there are places where you can learn a lot. overall nice as a stepping stone. Hard to get laid off, TV at work (of course)

      Cons

      minimum benefits and pay. no motivation to work. Pick any software development book and all things which are "donts" are done here.

      Good place to start your career, worst place to stay for a long time.

      Pros

      It is easy to get a job in this company.

      Cons

      So many to list. 1. Management has no directive. 2. Horrible benefits. 3. Pay at least 15% less than competitors. 4. They nickel and dime everything. 5. Stupid core hours. 6. No communication between groups. They made every one in software engineering work 50 hrs/week for almost 6 months for new product release. The product was successful, but the higher management (CEO and president) should have at least sent an thank you email.
