It's a big company, so it can be hard to move up or you are a star unless you are willing to relocate.

Used to be great a couple of years ago, but now it's just not.

Business Outlook

Pros

9x80 work schedule is awesome. Usually very flexible on time and scheduling. Most managers are very accommodating when you need to leave work for personal reasons. The unlimited sick and personal leave time is awesome. However, new policies are that you can't have overtime unless you've "paid back" any sick or personal leave that you've taken.

Cons

Three words: Model driven development. They just don't put an emphasis or give importance to real software work. They're putting all of their baskets into system engineers with software titles. Don't go here if you expect to pound code. There just isn't any opportunity to do it now.
