Pros

-Support is a good way to get your foot in the door, learn the products

Cons

-Management is out of touch with what is happening on the floor -Management tries to put a choke hold on your career, they will try to keep you in the department even after another department has hired you. - SQA process is a joke, you have people whose sole purpose is to grade your interactions with customers based on what they think an “ideal” interaction should look like, but the person over this group has no relevant experience, other than being the departments heads son. - Managers are more content with having a body in a chair taking minimal interactions. Techs are aware of who doesn’t do their job, this leads to resentment to that person and the management team that defends them. - It looks like development is more preoccupied with pushing out releases then the quality of the release

Pros

- Good benefits - Secure positions (they don't fire people to trim the budget) - Excellent facilities - Flexible work-from-home policy in most departments (as long as you aren't abusing it) - Fun activities for the whole family (I'm a fan of the movie nights on the lawn)

Cons

- Management is moving backward, not forward. - Promotions are given based on who you are friends with. - There is a severe lack of diversity especially in management. - Once they have made up their minds, senior management won't listen to concerns or suggestions. But they don't give you a chance to express your concerns or suggestions before they make up their minds. - There is a lack of communication across departments. People are duplicating work because no one is talking to their counterparts in the rest of the company. - The product release is driven by development. This might be a pro if you are a developer. But for marketing, sales, implementation, QA, documentation, training, and support, it is a pain in the neck. The company doesn't look good if you are learning about a product feature for the first time when a customer asks you a question about it.
