Pros

Young friendly workforce, made a lot of friends. Can get by on doing nothing for months, if you're so inclined. Being in business development is more lucrative than being an actual sales rep.

Cons

Was sexually harassed daily, had to go to therapy to deal with the constant harassment. Open floor plan allows men to come to your desk and talk to you endlessly, HR does nothing to stop it, even if you file a complaint. Was truly anxious all day long while working here. When I complained to management they victim-blamed and said I should change what I wear to work, rather than addressing the aggressor's behavior. Management does not care about you, only cares about hitting their sales goals. Men do not listen to women's input and will openly ignore you/ talk over you. New accounts/ products to sell every single June 1. If you are working a deal and it crosses a cut off you do not get paid, the new rep does. No incentive to work hard. They DO NOT care about their customers at all, not even a little bit. I honestly think that senior management is a bunch of incompetent ex-frat boys, including Mark Hurd. Never took a sick day because my manager always made me feel terrible for being at work.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
