Pros

Excellent pay and benefits including immediate vesting in 401k, unlimited time off, etc.

Cons

Toxic environment. Individual contributors and front line managers are all jockeying to one up each other. Back stabbing and "turf wars" are par for the course. Each person holds on to their "IP" in order to maintain a power position. Very poor professional growth and advancement. Culture is uber-PC. We have "inclusion groups" for just about everything and god help you if you have opposing viewpoints.

Pros

Compensation, Benefits, Technology, Co-workers, Training

Cons

Awful, lazy Airwatch management (director level and above) who don't follow any of the arbitrary rules they set. They also don't take lower managers viewpoints into account and are more than willing to sacrifice their employees morale on the alter of bigger bonuses for them.
