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.

Pros

The work is interesting. Some decent travel is available if desired. If you work hard and set yourself apart from others you can earn a promotion.

Cons

It’s all about who you know. All responsibilities fall on Engineering. Engineering does much more than “engineer” and spend too much time on stuff that admin staff “should be able” to do. When something needs to change the usual solution is to have Engineers be responsible for it because many non-engineers can’t handle mediocre tasks.
