Pros

Strong benefits - plenty of PTO, great people (though only a small handful made it through the multiple rounds of mass layoffs since 2006)

Cons

Absolutely zero continuity with leadership, tons of micromanaging and focus only on revenue and absolutely zero innovation - products are aging rapidly and without any semblance of R&D. Severance package was pretty weak despite rumors that it actually was good. Had I known that ahead of time I probably would have left earlier.

Pros

It is a job. It is better than unemployment.

Cons

Remember blood letting as medical treatment in history? That is this company. US employees are referred to as expensive resources. Bleeding talent left and right, either for people who've had enough or one of our quarterly Purge of older, experienced people who actually know the products are being systematically let go. That bleeding has left us weaker. The only people who seem happy are they naive 20 some year olds working in sales who have not being screwed yet. The managerial view for personal losses? "They were not a good fit". You have a complaint? Do not go to HR! It will get back to your manager and now you are persona non grata. Growth? Executive say that you need to do that on your own time. quality? It is cheaper to have unqualified people in another part of the world do re work than doing it right the first time. Perhaps this paraphrase from one of the executive leaders to convey the truth of this company. "We're moving away from being a service company to be a software company". Our business is heading to something like "We'll sell our stuff, but find someone else to help you install it and figure it out."
