it's OK, if your face fits
Pros
Products are mostly pretty good Plenty of chance to work with new stuff Brand has kudos Variety of challenge If you find your niche & your contribution is valued, it can be rewarding & satisfying
Cons
Short-term management focus on this quarter's numbers Consulting division is not led well Pay is not that great Internal processes are over-complex & best ignored Half-hearted approach to employee appraisal & development Managers at all levels have their little favourites who can do no wrong - very political organisation Some customers, and most SIs, hate us but can't escape It's really no fun at all if you're locked into a long-term project with a disgruntled customer and a semi-competent manager who's struggling to deliver. But that would be true in most places, I guess.
