Pros

Executives do a good job of fiscally managing company Nice Campus with on-site gym, cafeterias, and coffee shop Free drinks for employees Relaxed dress code Flexible work schedule If you look hard enough you can find some interesting projects to work on.

Cons

No salary increases in the last several years. Entire sites were skipped over even as other sites did get raises. Overuse of the words "collaboration" and "innovation" by management. Just because the words are spoken, that alone doesn't make it happen. Large corporate environment, lots of politics, process, and lack of communication. Lots of jobs heading to India and China.

Pros

Good perks and the company does a good job of seeing where the growth markets are headed and getting into those markets.

Cons

Ranking employees destroys employee morale and the promotions seem to be based on the relationship with the manager rather than performance.
