Pros

Good company to work for if you are in the right department. Lot's of young and good looking women. A playground if you are single.

Cons

GTEC, ADSK, and GCUS are perhaps the worst departments in the company. Workforce is generally young and immature. However, there are some really smart and ambitious people working there.

Pros

Pay is extremely good -- twice what anybody else is offering.

Cons

Brutal hours. People die here from overwork. Be prepared to work 14 hour days and weekends. Utterly ossified management, micromanagement, downright harassment, brutally invasive oversight. Zero flexibility on rules, hours. Complete contempt for employees, no credit for ideas. Incredibly bad design, obsolete technology.

Pros

- Great benefits - Good compensation - Casual work environment - Market leader - Good place to coast your career if you just want a stable job - No layoffs...yet

Cons

- No emphasis on software design - entire mentality is focused on getting the job done as quickly as possible. - Managers actually discourage you from spending too much time designing code! - A lot of legacy code that is poorly written with no documentation - Management is very set on their ways - TONS of proprietary software - Lack of professional development. - Most likely will not learn much regarding software development...but you might learn a lot about finance
