Employment status: current

Great place to work, especially in bad economic times
Pros: Best of breed products and services, pride of association both with the company, pride of association with peers, very flexible working options, from both time and location perspectives, virtually unlimited career opportunities, opportunities for international assignments, strong company culture, very good benefits compared to similar companies, can get in the door at virtually any sales prospect.
Cons: Below average pay compared to competition, far too many layers of management, too many people paid on the same deal, old fashioned command and control style of management, complex sales plans that are virtually impossible to understand, success punished with massive quota increases.  But all of this is probably the same as at most other similar companies.
