      Good work life balance, but not the place for you if you want to learn.

      Pros

      Excellent work-life Balance. Fairly good compensation - but not fully competitive. Free lunch and dinner. Car Lease Program Stock Purchase Program helps you make money during recession.

      Cons

      Extremely boring work, especially if you are stuck maintaining something old and rickety. Some level of ass licking is needed. Politics is also gaining ground. Higher management seems unwilling to embrace new ideas - unless the same ideas come from US management. Not many opportunities to go abroad.

      Frustrating Beyond Comprehension

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great products and technologies, people are smart (on the whole) and compensation and benefits are pretty good (though HR has taken away perks like PTO of late). Nice cafe!

      Cons

      Weak executive team, lack of clarity around vision. Very process oriented - and some of the processes are lame beyond belief. Once it took me six months to hire a new vendor and get them through the contract process. Very driven by quarterly revenue, so little investment in long brand term marketing....or long term anything for that matter.

      Pros

      Location in downtown SJ quite central Excellent work facilities (gym, cafeteria, basketball & bocci courts) Good compensation A lot of great people to work with Great work/life balance

      Cons

      Every year during Nov/Dec time frame there are reorganizations (ie. layoffs) Vacation doesn't accrue (use it or lose it) like in most companies No clear career development paths Employees tend to be shuttled around to new roles (with or without their input) Products seems to focused on upgrading the latest versions with no significant innovation
