Pros

Big company that has alot of potential to grow adn become a leader in the industry.

Cons

Does not feel like the CEO and managment value employees. No real perks, no fun, and no raises. You will have to leave to get the money you deserve. Seems like they refuse to hire from within.....even if we have earned it, you can forget about it.

Pros

Learn a lot about network security - free bagels and donuts and ice cream on certain days. Training available online.

Cons

Shared quota, favoritism, it's about who you know, you don't have to work hard it's the big corporation attitude. Lots of growing pains. Management is terrible at communicating changes - employees left in the dark.

Pros

- Average work pressure. As developer, no crunch time. (But QA's do) - Very stable job security. Layoffs rarely happen. - Reasonable salary/benefit.

Cons

- Hiring managers usually have very very high expectation during interview. - Development process is nightmare. - Product management has problems. - A large percentage of employees are Chinese. While being Chinese is not really problem, it does take a hit in corporate culture. A lot of them don't have very good English skill. They're not confident to have a chat in English. And many others simply don't like to talk in English. So the Chinese tends to stay in their own groups. If you don't speak Chinese, you will find it rather challenging to get to know people.
