Pros

Very good benefits, very generous healthcare, work from home policy

Kontras

Very poor management. Managers are selected haphazardly, without screening, and given basic training on people skills by semi-qualified consultants after they are promoted. Managers don't have time to supervise and know what their directs are doing, so managers often just check off a job as done without evaluating the quality of the work. Getting qualified people from outside or internally can take months, so employees are often put into positions they're not qualified to hold. Communication is strictly one-way, from the top down. Performance evaluations were done for a few years, but were not mandatory and never seemed to be used, so directors only know what their managers want them to know. Appearances are everything. People agree to deadlines they know they can't meet because they don't want to look bad, then deadlines get pushed out. This is a dysfunctional environment. Don't stay more than a few years. Start working on your exit strategy as soon as you come in.

Very cushy at times, not super high pressure

Kontras

The actual software you're selling is low to mid tier software so hard to sell.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Kontras

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
