Pros

Close-knit teams Friendly, nurturing enviornment Diverse workforce, both in skills and backgrounds Good benefits Strong work-life balance Can be very flexible (based on specific team/management, but true for all my teams]

Cons

Pay not great Can be hard to get promoted, as upper management is trying to reverse years of promoting automatically based on tenure

Pros

The actual staff is good. Decent benefits

Cons

Lower end of salaries. Too many managers managing too few people. The number of managers is ridiculous for a company this small. Controlling environment Quire behind on technology side. Every technology finds it way to OCLC YEARS after its been in the industry.

Pros

If you want to work with people who are the best and really understand programming and ways it can be used, work there. The pay is average, the benefits are good (though sliding downwards slowly) and when you need time for family, they do make it possible.

Cons

The new management has lost sight of the legacy and the people who made it happen. Some divisions have rejected agile because of the way it micromanages the employees there. To get any real innovation you have to do it on your own time and then go trough hurdles to use it.
