Pros

Steady pay, decent benefits, good work/life balance, fascinating problem domains, many friendly sociable people, many smart and motivated co-workers. Basically everything except the work and company direction.

Cons

Too many chiefs constantly squabbling for power. Incompetent dinosaurs in charge of promising projects that die on the vine No real product vision or future product investment Piling features onto rapidly aging architectures that are becoming difficult to maintain Activities and decisions increasingly driven by angry customers Record quarters rewarded by more layoffs and cutbacks in the name if profitability Upward mobility highly gated by politics rather than merit "Product company" slogan very ironic Poster child for why enterprise software is so awful

Pros

Flexible, great colleagues, good HR training on goals and objectives

Cons

Depends on the group, toxic culture pockets exist, abusive and bullying behavior is laughed at and accepted rather than corrected, unclear strategy, business unit level vision is lacking, no accountability, several HR complaints against a manager go unaddressed, slow to change, can be chaotic, more interest in checking the box than hitting the right mark.
