Pros

Although travel for training has basically disappeared, there is a ton of online training. You can also take any OU courses. Broad product set keeps you interested. Very smart people working here. Compensation is probably average. Pretty flexible about working from home or taking time off. Some managers are good - very supportive and dive in to help. Being #1 in a lot of areas helps with meeting customers.

Cons

Sales model SUCKS!!! multiple reps claiming they are the "go-to" rep drives customers crazy. The latest desupport news for Itanium has them hating us now. Rather than talk to people, the default is to immediately over react to any situation and throw people under the bus. This atmosphere of paranoia starts at the top. Very difficult to advance, you must be highly political. Managing up is valued more than contribution. HR is rude and unhelpful.
