      Environment does not promote teamwork, more like everybody is out for himself.

      Pros

      Nice gym with free aerobics classes. Flexible work hours, though you usu end up putting in a lot more than 40 hours because of ambitious deadlines. Can telecommute (Oracle picks up the tab for ISP).

      Cons

      Not easy to find out who is responsible for what. Documents are not easy to locate and search. Not easy to get hardware upgrade. (My desktop at work is more than 5 years old, with only 80 Gb disk space, DVD-Rom - not RW - drive, clunky CRT monitor). No free lunch.

      OK, but lots of potential to be better

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, good management practices. Your managers are always willing to listen. Decisions that are made at the lower management levels are usually very good.

      Cons

      With Large companies you can get lost in the masses. The communications up the management chain can be laborious (you really have to push to move things up the ladder).
