Business Outlook

Pros

If you feel the need to get a Big Name on your resume, like I did, you could hardly go wrong with this company. There is an army of smart people working here.

Cons

Unfortunately, the business has accumulated incredible of bagage around software development and the byzantine terminal always yields less information then you would expect. It's a small wonder that any development takes place using those archaic systems.

Not a good company to start the career

Business Outlook

Pros

Free meals, good training programs, cheerful environment, nice benefit, no policy of 'lay-off' -as long as you do your work and obey to your manager, you can work until you retire.

Cons

-no career progress, repetitive work across the company, it's called 'flag organization'. there is no promotion so there's no big salary increase. -managers treat employees like children. everything is monitored. -performance is measured by 'metrics' system' with error rate% etc--->used at reviews to discourage people -long hours without OT -it seems many jobs moving to China, India
