Pros

multicultural and very dynamic environment respected company you can gain real hands on experience ideal for those who finished school and looking for real experience - not just thory very process oriented nice package of benefits

Cons

not ideal for idependent thinkers ideal for followers (those who just follow) too process oriented - even litle things often require approval or some kind green light. But those who usually approve actions have no idea what they asked to aprove. limited opportunities to grow external resources are often hired instead to give opportunities to own employees. If you want to claim your career lader here, you need to choose your words very carefully at meetings Engineers are often asked to do changes which can't be tested in advance but business always requires guarantess that changes won't have impact to running services. Business often requests network changes but at the same time doesn't want to approve them.

Pros

Easy work, some great co-workers and some pretty decent benefits were available for a job that didn't require too much skill.

Cons

Hours could get very limited based on the amount of mail available, so they would often call you the morning of you shift to tell you not to come in. You are judged mainly on how many pieces of mail you can process per hour. Once our team went above and beyond our goal and instead of rewarding us as they did the previous year, the management simply bumped up the goal so it was tougher to reach. With the ridiculous speed at which we had to work you package is most definitely getting thrown, dropped, damaged and generally not cared about by most employees. Management seemed disorganized overall.

Pros

A lot of benefits and social activities, most advanced VMware, Citrix, HP, Netapp and other technologies in a real corporate and global environment.

Cons

Strongly process oriented company, work split to such a narrow areas, that you can easily loose your wide portfolio.
