Overall rating: 3/5
Employment status: former
Experience level: Confirmed

No real career path available.
Pros: Large company, well known software as well as hardware (Sun Microsystems acquisition). Vast array of technologies to play with.
Cons: No real opportunity for advancement. Pay is below standard.  I interviewed for many open internal positions and got accepted only to be told that I could not get a pay raise or pay grade change. Example: Applied for Sys admin 4 position, aced the interview and was the number 1 pick out of the other interviewees; Was offered the position at a much lower pay grade. They would rather bring in someone from the outside and pay them more than promote someone from within. It's business that makes no sense.
