Pros

Stable company with lots of product diversity in many markets. Market leader in many areas.

Cons

Does not spend much investment on employees. Do not expect to leave with much more transferrable education or certification. Does not inspire creativity, tends to buy innovative smaller companies and smother their spark. Culture of fear and blame created by Directors to cover for lack of knowledge and expertise in terms of compliance and dealing with regulatory agencies.

Pros

Benefits, vacation package, good people

Cons

Too many management changes. Excessive offshoring. Global management structure out of touch with business realities. Executive management unable or unwilling to change long term plans when business damage is very apparent do to cost reduction commitments. Career opportunities are almost non existent. If you are entrepreneurial, look elsewhere. This company has transformed from a locally driven business to a European style socialist state.

Pros

Mostly good people. Good technology.

Cons

You're a sales rep count on having multiple bosses in territory changes on an annual basis. Every single year the Compensation Plan gets lower and lower and lower. OTE decrease annually, and all the people around you that are trying to support your territory really don't care because they're on salary and could care less. If it's not in their job responsibilities they're not doing it. Unfortunately it wasn't like that 5 years ago which is why we actually kept very good sales people.
