The company is flexible (depending on yoiur role) towards home-based ofices and provides additional perks for those who are based of corporate offices.
Svantaggi
The company is almost too big. When strategies come out for a given year it takes the better part of the year to implement and then it changes the following year. Be careful about the kind of position you seek as field positions compensations are based on point systems for the close of sales. This would be fine but there is a tendency for Solution Captains to protect their buddies. There have been cases where a solution engineer worked 90 % of an opportunity and should have gotten numerous "points" but at the last minute the solution captain adds other names to the list that dilute the points causing the person, that did most of the work, to be slighted on their compensation. Internal systems for processes are a nightmare an is one of the largest complaints amongst filed personnel.
