      Pros

      Good benefits, good health care package

      Cons

      HR is pathetic and inept Salaries are not that good Promotion is basically a popularity context Fairness to employees isn't really valued Always focused on the next shiny object and not on running the core business Too sales focused and they no longer really care about customers or what they want and need

      It all went down hill.

      Pros

      It used to be a good place to work. Experience looks good on a resume. ESSP was a great deal. Severance is good, when they offshore you.

      Cons

      In Cali, India or China it is probably an ok job. In RTP, you can be in sales or support and possibly have a future. If you are a Sr. developer in RTP, your future is limited. When you start teaching offshore replacements, be worried. Don't be surprised if you work night and weekends, have great performance reviews, and then are thrown out like old socks.

      Pros

      It feels great when you leave.

      Cons

      Managers are sweatshopping engineers trying to compete not with the marketplace but instead with other groups doing the same exact thing. What a huge waste. Being forced to work late and weekends is awful, and if you do manage to get your own work done during " normal" hours you still have to come in weekends "for the team". Apparently you dont have enough to do if you are getting your job done during the week. After all that, no raise and no bonuses for me. So I left, got 2 offers in three days elsewhere and have never been happier.
