Pros

Good company for learning for freshers. Extremely senior positions maybe good for experienced leaders however the bureaucracy may ease off whatever passion good hires have in 2-3 years of employment. My recommendation would be to see this company as a 2-3 year investment and not more as diminishing returns would follow after a few successful years.

Cons

Low salary and limited growth outside of leadership programs which are dogged by a bureaucratic selection process. HR has too much power and therefore high growth candidates must avoid this company for a long term career. The company would most like loose out to competition in the long run due to the above anomaly in growth culture.

Pros

Travel, learning, training and development, prople. I learned a lot be in definitely stayed too long.

Cons

Compensation. You can make a lot more doing the same thing somewhere else. Even with the new compensation plan, they are still below the market. Advise: Go get the "GE" for a few years, then get out!

Pros

Stable company. You get exposure to working with big time customers. You get to work on some exciting projects. Lots of vacation and time off with flexible schedule as long as you get stuff done.

Cons

The management doesn't understand how to develop software. They do not believe what development says when it comes to estimates. They also do not understand the roles and responsibilities of a software company. There's a new CEO every 6 months to 2 years.
