Pluspunten

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.

Minpunten

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.

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

Pluspunten

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Minpunten

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
