Pluspunten

- Almost every role can work from home - Many opportunities to travel, speak at conferences, etc.

Minpunten

- No one knows what anyone is doing, on their team or any other team - Many duplicated projects and efforts since as I just pointed out, no one talks to other teams - Pay isn't competitive on many teams; many orgs simply tell you upfront that you will never receive a bonus or promotion. It’s part of the reason a ton of teams flat out do not give performance reviews (so you can never get a bonus or promotion) - Technology in general is outdated and slowly trailing behind whatever Microsoft, AWS, Google are doing (by a few years) - A lot of people from acquired companies or who just somehow survived a thousand layoffs stick around and still seem to operate with the same skill set they had in 1992. tons of folks on technical teams without a technical aptitude. - Rebranding happens at a dizzying pace, which makes the company look pretty disorganized (because shocker, it is!) - Women are paid far less than men, to the point there’s a large class action lawsuit about it. - In general, a lot of HR violations happening on a near-constant basis. - Directors and execs generally are dishonest about what's coming down the pike. Layoffs happen VERY OFTEN, they know in advance and will never give warning. Entire teams will suddenly disappear and never be spoken of again. The layoff-a-thon will never end at this company. Beware.

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Minpunten

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.
