Pros

Good work life balance, time off when needed, working from home is widely accepted. Interesting products and technology, and great name recognition.

Cons

Poor leadership, constant change of strategy from the top down. Layoffs 1x/yr They will change your position without asking, and have seen more demotions than promotions (except in management). Not encouraged to apply for open positions as they always hire outside. Raises are few and far between. Lots of hard workers overlooked here, cronyism is painfully prevalent and the politics are exhausting. Make the right friends to get ahead.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
