Pros

Generous RSUs each quarter Team goals for sales commission, predictable SIP Management is not afraid to tell the customer no, and go into a legal battle with them

Cons

Not a technology company, there's no innovation, lots of divesting in R&D and business units. They are a license renewals and procurement company. They only talk to customers every 3 or 5 years when the ELA comes up. They hold customers hostage. Constantly laying people off, thousands at a time and not sure how they get away with not announcing or reporting to US regulators like other corporations have to. Creates a super toxic environment inside the company and they destroy every company they acquire. People who stay there long term have sold their soul for the RSU pay day. They are heavily medicated if they believe they are actually helping a customer or contributing to innovation.

Bad management

Business Outlook

Pros

Great salary because of the equity

Cons

Management is very bad, I and others had issues with sexism, racism, you know name it. Little to no meritocracy and a lot of petty office politics The work-life balance is also awful and there's no hybrid/remote work except for rare exceptions for management, one of many double standards. No culture; the company is very cheap when it comes to ERGs or even basic amenities

Pays well, culture is archaic

Business Outlook

Pros

Focus and direction is fairly clear. CEO runs a tight ship, so company is sound.

Cons

Culture is very old-fashioned, not that of a traditional software company (if you're working in a software business unit). Very poor and frugal selection of tools for engineers. Example would be google spaces instead of slack.
