Pros

Was a great company to work for with still a best in class DW solution.

Cons

Leadership a bunch of old hardware sales guys that have missed the trends time and time again, constantly playing catch up when in effect that game is over (Big Data, SaaS, etc.), Surprised Wall Street hasn't pushed harder to get the old regime ousted long ago.

Pros

Pay and benefits are really good

Cons

Senior leaders don't communicate with lower level employees. Direction is constantly changing, which wouldn't be so bad if new direction was clearly communicated, but communication is a major challenge here. Groups don't work well with each other. I've seen people literally pointing fingers at each other in meetings. I get the feeling that within teams, people get along and work well together, but not much trust once you get outside your own team. Bottom line is it's just not that fun to work here.

Pros

By far its people and the comradery amongst the troops.

Cons

Turnover is incredibly high, especially at the senior level which sets the tone. Lost a lot of great leaders in sales. Constant RIFS, questionable management practices, very low morale, declining sales and customers, no loyalty to tenured employees. Seen very clear practices of age discrimination to reduce headcount and save budget dollars. All very evident on Layoffs.com Do not fall for the "we one of the most ethical companies" statement. You can be a top 10 CMO for the right $$ as well.
