Pros

- Stable company, so if you manage to convince you are essential, your job is secure. - 401(k) is good. It is with Fidelity and has minimal expenses. - Good work life balance.

Cons

- They pay at or below market rates with raises that barely cover inflation. - Company is focused on cutting expenses at the smallest level and on maintaining products. It is not focused on growth and innovation. The growth is mainly via acquisitions. - Health insurance is relatively expensive. 401K match is only 1%. - They do not treat employees well. For example, they told us their solution for "attrition" is hiring, with no mention of efforts to increase retention. - They are strongly based in India and Canada, so if you're US based you may find your job outsourced there. - CEO is a SJW with far left views he expresses in frequent e-mails sent to all 14,000 employees.
