Pros

Firstly, your peers in the 'trenches' are really fantastic people. For the most part they are highly intelligent, really generous with their time, and all around wonderful people. Other good reasons to work here: Free coffee Free soda Free snacks Bathrooms Clean office environment Professional Good 401k Good legal plan benefits Employee Stock Purchase Program

Cons

Poor pay and poor bonus (Annual Incentive Plan for non PS, is 7.5%) Poor expectation management from managers, poor at setting goals Get it done or get out attitude Culture of accountability translates to culture of finger pointing Poor business process and almost no implementation of CMMI whatsoever Antiquated ideologies about research and development, good senior management, terrible middle management Antiquated products with bloated features and poor architecture Management has severe tunnel vision, most development managers have little experience actually developing, employees are rated subjectively Fiefdom culture, every senior leader has their own little castle which they run their own way, 'fights' happen, lots of political overhead. Promotions are non existent, yearly raises are consistently 2%, I'm pretty sure that when you account for average inflation, that means you're making less than you did the year before.
