It's a job - a stable, not terribly exciting job... but a job.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible schedule Opportunities for internal training abound Stable, the company isn't going anywhere Good vacation and sick leave, and excellent benefits.

Cons

If you come in from an acquisition, the culture shock can be significant (and it's sink or swim) In spite of internal training opportunities, raises and promotions are difficult to come by 'Working from home' or working remotely not as institutionalized as it should be, so some departments are hard to communicate with

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, benefits, culture, opportunities for promotion and growth. New learning opportunities are always around the corner. You'll definitely stay busy. Opportunities to work from home in many positions.

Cons

Project management and workflow is sometimes inconsistent. Slower than average to adopt new technologies and ideas. Culture subject to change and potential degradation as company grows larger.

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company, well known software as well as hardware (Sun Microsystems acquisition). Vast array of technologies to play with.

Cons

No real opportunity for advancement. Pay is below standard. I interviewed for many open internal positions and got accepted only to be told that I could not get a pay raise or pay grade change. Example: Applied for Sys admin 4 position, aced the interview and was the number 1 pick out of the other interviewees; Was offered the position at a much lower pay grade. They would rather bring in someone from the outside and pay them more than promote someone from within. It's business that makes no sense.
