Pros

Good salary and benefits. Good work/life balance. Good technology and deep industry knowledge. Interesting work at times. Smart people. Employee friendly company.

Cons

Very few opportunities to advance, seems to be a kind of old boys network. Company's business model and competitive position seems to be coming under increased threat from much larger competitors, possible acquisition target.

Pros

Very strong technology organization. Company culture is good but not good enough to attract top talent (comparing to Facebook/Google type organizations who make enormous efforts to keep top talent). Everyone feels like family. Everyone is very happy, helpful, and they work hard. This is a really good place for enjoying your work.

Cons

Many staff have worked here for 20-30+ years. Innovation struggles due to the 20+ year seniority mindset. Their salaries are also on the low end of industry standards. They use bonuses to justify bringing your salary up to standards instead of paying standards with bonuses on top of them. This is OK when they pay bonuses consistently (which they have for many years) but this year and perhaps the next few years, bonuses aren't going to be paid out; without which, salaries are pretty low.

Pros

My current manager is a great manager, but he has little control over the negatives faced at this company. It is a job that pays the bills.

Cons

Upper management seems clueless as to how to improve our products or manage a software company, and the mass exodus of talent and stock drop are evidence of this. They pay below the industry average for software developers. Poor project management results in an expectation of long weeks and weekends for the developers. There is virtually no path to promotion, and no merit increase above 1.5%, if at all. There is no innovation in the technology.
