Pros

* Decent benefits * You may find yourself working with another decent human being who's not a back stabber * I can't think of anything else. Meh.

Cons

* SO many of the "reviews" posted here that lean towards "positive" are BS: "Basically Synthesized"!!! At this point in time, long-standing mid-management is running scared, trying to escape the impending doom... so they're fabricating good reviews hoping to draw new recruits into the web. * Development positions are being posted daily, but they are potentially either red herrings, designed by HR to promote company image, OR simply un-sustainable positions that will be eliminated sooner than an un-suspecting new hire might imagine. This is due to the recent pronouncement by senior management to "honor their commitment to the out-sourcing of dev positions to India. (read about the disenchantment and dissatisfaction of Noida employees in THIS forum). * Back-stabbing behavior among mid-to-senior management here is RAMPANT, and has been for years. (disclaimer: I have never been a management-level employee at this company) If you investigate the reason(s) for this, you find that it comes down to two things: 1) upper management fails to communicate clearly with middle management re: actual development goals 2) development leads are simultaneously hamstrung by their management, and have the freedom to be autocratic despite the "supposed" existence of an "agile" dev environment. * Bottom line: this is a Very Complex working environment, not worth the hassle.

Pros

Excellent company. Clear winner in the sector. Treats its people well even as it manages through business cycles and need to be leaner in some areas. Committed to maintaining industry leadership through heavy investment in best content / products.

Cons

Nothing major. Could move faster at times, but making progress there.
