Excellent benefits, services, training, not very tech focused.

Pros

The benefits are top notch I doubt many companies will provide better. The job training is the best I've ever been offered. The company is very serious about retaining top talent. The work environment is very friendly and low stress.

Cons

Management does not understand technology. Patents are more important than open source and they want to convert everything to Microsoft. Switching from SVN to TFS was an upper management decision when it should be an engineer's decision. Virtual machine provision is locked behind archaic red tape.

Pros

- Great people on the front level teams - Benefit package on par with other tech companies - Discounted access to tape and bandaids

Cons

- Upper management is completely clueless to what is happening in the trenches and rules by fear and intimidation - Strong pressure to work unpaid/unrewarded overtime because you are salaried - Unrealistic deadlines set by people who don't understand the technical work they oversee - HR will pretend to "handle" concerns but realistically they just get brushed under the rug if you speak up - No opportunity for career advancement unless you are looking to place your career above all else including family and friends.
