      Pros

      Great product and great people!

      Cons

      No career path. Cutting headcounts without consideration for talent and moving work to Warsaw, India, and Mexico.

      Pros

      The flexibility to work from remote locations is still difficult to beat. The health insurance is still pretty good.

      Cons

      The pay is no longer top end. It used to be very competitive, but now there are much better paying jobs out there. They are moving much of the business support functions to centralized locations outside of the US, so there is little opportunity for advancing. There are a lot of issues that just get ignored because it just has to work even though there hasn't been much thought put into the initiatives. Management does not listen to the people who know how to do the job because they think they know better. It is bad when you cannot tell whether the Dilbert comic strip is made up or about your (former) company.

      Pros

      Very good compensation, benefits and work life balance. The company has very good core values and fosters a team environment.

      Cons

      The company has been restructuring for the past 30 years. It's very difficult to plan a career with the company. Senior positions within the company are selected from global candidates as opposed to employees working their way up the "ladder".
