      Mediocre on Many Levels

      Pros

      Great location if you live in downtown San Jose.

      Cons

      People do busy work. It's more important to look busy than to be productive. Much too much time is spent on internal politicking and creating presentations to "sell" what you are working on to other internal teams, as opposed to creating value for customers. Execs are highly paid and impressed with themselves. This is not the "cool" place to work that they think it is, although they will try very had to convince you.

      Pros

      products and solutions. that's it

      Cons

      constant reorgs/job elims. Even made national news... be worried about your job -- at all times. Not a good way to build employee morale or loyalty

      Great salary, benefits, quality of life. Poor management, security and quality of work

      Pros

      Great benefits, smart people. Great salary, great workplaces (SF or San Jose). Great food. Good addition of new talent via smart acquisitions in new spaces.

      Cons

      Huge shifts in management. Near-yearly Fall layoffs (and nearly impossible to fire someone otherwise). Huge company that's essentially run by the lawyers and bureaucrats. Very hard to make a decision, and hard to make one stick. False "consensus" culture that's really about doing what higher managers decide. People afraid to make decisions. Older profitable (and user-loved) desktop software almost entirely moved to India now (with very little improvements scheduled), with talented US engineers shuffling between new mobile/tablet projects that get killed off quickly. Company still identified with the older creative products, but there's little or no investment in those: it's all about the new marketing acquisitions.
