Pros

Semi-competitive pay, it's a job.

Cons

Only 2 weeks vacation regardless of experience level, unless you are management. Then you get 3. Retirement benefits are almost nothing. They really seem to be clueless about employee moral. The worst part is, senior management has the attitude that it's a good business practice to take systems that used to have 10-15 people supporting them and dwindle that down to the bare minimum 1-2 to barely meet compliance, but not address any problems. They really are looking at things from a day to day perspective. It's sad because their customers probably have no idea how understaffed and undersupported they are. They are living off of a reputation and existing contracts for now. Many customers are getting a clue and are abandoning them. They have begun outsourcing what remains of the already extremely thin staffing levels. They have done several waves of layoffs and are pushing the work to people in Russia who have no experience or knowledge of the systems. Forget any hope at advancement, any left are lucky to even still have a job. All that will be left of this company soon are managers and Russians with no experience. Stay away from this company!

Pros

Pay is pretty good and the people are good to work with. In my particular case I can work from home a lot, but they aren't allowing that as much any more. The technology is ok to work with for the most part.

Cons

Large enterprise issues like complete hard drive encryption that slows the machines substantially. Work isn't too challenging and there isn't a lot of room for creativity. No Macs allowed. The management talks of Best in Class software, but it isn't supported from top to bottom. E.g., we must use IBM Rational Functional Tester even though developers and QA all dislike it. We have to use ClearCase even though nobody likes it. We say we want best in class, but look to develop mobile solutions that are lowest common denominator-driven for ease of cross platform development (iOS & Android). There isn't a EVP of Product Design, which I believe is required if you want best in class products.
