Pros

Many of the very sharpest people I've ever dealt with work here, and I'm very pleased with my current chain of command

Cons

Overall very cliquish and political; too many stuffed shirts in senior management, treating the people who do the work and make the money like serfs laboring in the fields, rather than as valued resources. Too much lip service and hypocrisy in areas like "work-life balance", and "development", when the reality you see on the ground is to drive everyone as hard as possible, and give as little as possible in return. The annual review process is a joke, lots of time wasted on eye-wash, when the reality is that promotions and monetary rewards are based on things other than performance. Lots of really outstanding resources are leaving because they're tired of being treated like ****.

Pros

Great people, customers, products. The culture has improved significantly over the past 5 years or so, and now feels like a relatively modern software company. Exec leadership is very good, Neil is fantastic.

Cons

Mid-level exec leaders, VP level, are still very political. Salaries are way below average.
