A fantastic company now facing challenges
Pros: Excellent working conditions with flexible schedules, leaves of absence when requested and flexible day to day schedules.  Strong BYOD support programs.  Solid education and training opportunities and internal networking collaboration tools.  Quality of colleagues unprecedented in the industry. Excellent research scientists.
Cons: Work life balance a challenge due to heavy workloads and expectations.   Limited potential for promotion especially for woman.   Maniacal focus on EPS earnings per share at the expense of investing in new offerings that clients are interested in, improved delivery capabilities and overall solutions to improve customer satisfaction has unfortunately reduced the ability for employees to generate new revenues.  This has impacted employee morale and the corporate culture.
