Pros

- OK base salary - Fresh fruits, gym in the building - Really great colleagues - Benefits such as full sick leave coverage and life insurance - If you're lucky with a manager, you get a good work/life balance

Cons

Never accept a job offer to work in cloud apps! You are risking to be trapped in: - Unhealthy aggressive yet often remote management, including micro-management - Business processes are disorganized, you struggle at every step, no support from departments that are supposed to support - There are many cases when a sales rep wasn't paid a commission (!) - Managers are oftentimes are incompetent and have no idea what are they doing and are absolutely blind and deaf to the feedback from employees - The whole team doesn't have a power against a manager, very old-school boss-employee power exchange - No opportunities to change a career within the organization - No HR-support, everything goes though a manager - Every year there's a complete re-organization - Interests of an employee are never taken into consideration, no one cares what you want and what are your career aspirations - Even the top performers are always pressured and punished

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
