      Pros

      Don't have to work too hard and still look like a superstar. Good compensation and benefits. Nice work environment. Allows telecommuting.

      Cons

      My business unit had a exodus of technical talent, leaving managers to fend for themselves. Unfortunately, managers only know how to call meetings, which did not help.

      Pros

      A Technology leader. CoreLogic is not adverse to spend and try new technologies to improve their product. Employee, depending on job role, has a great potential to learn many new technologies and be current in their field. Rewards as a recognition for job performance exists, though in small quantity and small by industry standards. Job security is there for any employee if they are a high performer -- or as it seems as a reward for a employee who has been there long term, close to retirement and in good standing with management. In most cases a very frugal organization. In most cases spends money wisely and does not spend money needlessly to the chagrin of many vendors.

      Cons

      Top heavy! Still a somewhat patriarchal organization. Many organizational levels to justify position and accompanying salaries. Definitely not a flat organizational structure. Some ineffective, non-performing managers and lower level workers are kept on for no apparent reason due patriarchal nature of the organization. If you are good *Kissing-Ass* and have the gift of the gab to your manager , then you will fit in well in the organization. Starting salaries are low and pay raises are few and far between. So my advise to prospective candidates is to negotiate the highest pay rate you would be happy with for 2-3 years. No paid overtime. Staff attrition rate is high. Many have left for better paying work and paid overtime

      Pros

      Flexible, good work/life balance, interesting work. The benefits at Cisco were great, plenty of paid vacation, and even had a very nice gym right on the campus. The managers allowed you to work independently as well.

      Cons

      There weren't too many cons about working there. The company is huge, so it felt like it was difficult to work your way up to higher management, but I wasn't there for very long so maybe it would have been.
