Pros

great respect for each other, great opportunities to learn from your peers, use the latest in some of what the corporate software world has to offer in terms of software, methodology and processes.

Cons

the company is arguably slower than others to draw important strategical decisions. because of the company being so successful in former times upper management seems to think that there will always be this kind of success no matter what. however, this could change.

Pros

The benefits are exceptional: free health insurance, dental insurance, disability, 15 vacation days, 12 holidays, 6% 401K matching, ability to work from home

Cons

I was frequently on call which meant I had to carry a pager for a week every other month The raises and promotions were pretty minimal each year I was not allowed to apply to other internal position even after deciding upon an availability date upon hiring.
