Pros

- Excellent campus - Great cafeteria - Good salary - Good job security - It is satisfying to see the features you developed (as a Software Developer) being used by customers! (I cannot say the same about Technical Services and Project Management folks)

Cons

- Dealing with demanding customers can be very difficult - Most of the company still uses VB for front-end development (increasingly C#/ASP.Net is being used). Backend is completely done in an obscure environment called 'cache' (language is called "M"). So the Developers get less and less marketable skills. - Review system is still "Closed" (i.e you do not know what your review was - All you see is some increase in your salary at the end of the year). - Sometimes the company feels like a "cult"
