Pros

Worked with some very smart and talented people, the company finally got rid of many of the clueless and deficient executives shortly before I resigned and started to build a cohesive strategy

Cons

Had 7 bosses in three years, promised tuition reimbursement then the company backed out after I was an employee, had my base and variable pay dropped by 25% “accidentally”, took 3 months to correct that error and they never back paid me on the lost pay.

Pros

This is a big company with all the perks such as good pay, benefits, and environment.

Cons

The company has been on the decline for over 5 years now. Their database is a niche product, overprices, and being eclipsed by the cloud. Upper management shuffles around every couple years to "realign" its strategy, which means no product has any direction, because each new goon feels like they need to make their mark and change things. I have seen nothing but layoffs the entire time I was with this company. In my unit, they hired people, only to lay them off 2 months later after a management shuffle.

Pros

Good technology to be learned

Cons

The management is pretty bad. Thre is not a clear path where the company is pointing to. Very good technical people have been laid off. Basically, an employee is just a number.
