      A pit of politics, preferential treatment, poor management, and out-of-control egos

      Pros

      Interesting technology. A decent cafeteria (and nice cafe staff)

      Cons

      Loaded with barely competent front-line staff. You know the type... All "CYA" and no real effort. Many incompetents promoted to mid-level management. You know how... Connections. Upper management that pits team against team. You know the type... Ballmer acolytes. Too many folks too scared of keeping their cushy position to be genuine.

      Pros

      - good relationship with managers - supportive - good knowledge sharing - open communication - good work life balance - allows time for non profit activities

      Cons

      - can be left on our own too often to figure out things sometimes - very fast paced, might not suit everyone

      Great place to learn Virtualization and getting paid for it!

      Pros

      The environment is made for people being introduced into the world of virtualization. The other support engineers all have specialties and are willing to help you excel as it helps them to get you trained to help offload the overall workload for each team. You start with training that would cost over $2k per class and you take over four classes to get skilled with VMware products. Not only that, you are able to request to take other certification courses (paid for through education expenses) and they will also assist with certification exam fees.

      Cons

      Large companies require much more effort to be recognized by management and senior management. Call center environment is open by it is slowly becoming micro managed.
