Good culture if you don't mind big companies. No respect for Software Engineers.

Business Outlook

Pros

* Lower management generally fair and do a pretty good job of looking out for the best interest of the DEVs and the products * Pretty good pay and benefits * Good culture (compared to some other big companies) * Some really smart & talented people, especially in the software group * Relatively stable. While not universally true, downsizing typically affects lower-performers

Cons

* No respect for Software Engineers * Upper management out of touch with software engineering ethos * Culture changing somewhat for the worse * Constant pressure from management to hire _somebody_ rather than wait for excellent devs * Ridiculous software process (counting lines of code and bugs fixed to measure team "success") * Objectionable stance on patents (constant pressure to submit _something_ just so the company will have more in its portfolio)

Pros

Most employees are friendly. The workload, most of the time, is typical of a large company. Performing at average is not too difficult.

Cons

Management direction and technical knowledge needs to be better. Management needs to move to allow the advancement of talented young employees. More accountability among management and employees.
