Vantaggi

This company has a competitive product set and is developing an improved set of products that can be updated as technology changes. There is a casual dress code and pay & benefits are on par with similar companies.

Svantaggi

This company was formed by several mergers and seems to have problems more typical of a large bureaucracy. Management at times seems more concerned about making the next sale than whether the company has the infrastructure to support the customer needs. In fact, the company will make the sale first and then try to figure out how to fulfill the terms of the contract later. Also, it appears this company prefers to have H1B & offshore contractors instead of American employees. There have been several cases where American employees have been laid off, only to be replaced by non-American contract employees within 2 weeks. Management also tends to hold back important information until long after the employees need to know it, causing a near constant "fire-fighting" environment.

Vantaggi

Pay is pretty good and the people are good to work with. In my particular case I can work from home a lot, but they aren't allowing that as much any more. The technology is ok to work with for the most part.

Svantaggi

Large enterprise issues like complete hard drive encryption that slows the machines substantially. Work isn't too challenging and there isn't a lot of room for creativity. No Macs allowed. The management talks of Best in Class software, but it isn't supported from top to bottom. E.g., we must use IBM Rational Functional Tester even though developers and QA all dislike it. We have to use ClearCase even though nobody likes it. We say we want best in class, but look to develop mobile solutions that are lowest common denominator-driven for ease of cross platform development (iOS & Android). There isn't a EVP of Product Design, which I believe is required if you want best in class products.
