Pros

Flexible schedule, great employees, and it's in a great location in San Jose. At the end of the day the job I do means something to the world.

Cons

Where to start???? Hmmm, lets see.......Senior Management cares only about Senior Management! Their bonuses are through the roof, while the employees who make all the money have very small bonuses (Paid for by freezing our raises for two yeasr). Perks are almost nonexistent for the typical employee, unless you consider "Dog Day" once a year a perk (Management cooks hot dogs for the employees to eat). There are no advancement opportunities, unless you are a expert "Ass Kisser", and when there are raises they don't keep up with the cost of inflation. UL is way too top heavy, and it seems they add to the Senior Management weekly!

Pros

Flex time in certain positions, nice campus. Most other pros are things of the past.

Cons

Performance reviews depend on whether or not your manager likes you, not your actual performance. Steady acquisition of other companies while telling employees that the company can't afford merit increases. Employee appreciation efforts increasingly revealed to be lip service. Management decided that sales support staff could be turned into actual sales staff with sales quotas, but gave no apparent consideration to each employees actual strengths and abilities. Customers who had a bad experience with one office are no longer given the option to work with a different office. Benefits and perks are gradually worsening or disappearing altogether. Management seems to be addicted to change. Voicing even constructive concerns about a change gets you labeled as a troublemaker. Managers who get caught in immoral activities with married subordinates get little more than a slap on the wrist. Employees are generally treated like grade schoolers instead of the professional adults they are. If you want to get ahead, you had best pucker up. Otherwise, you won't get ahead.
