It used to be fun
Pros: Stable, long term business that is recognized world wide as a leader in the IT segment. Work life balance for the most part is good. Always something new to learn, lots of really really smart people you get exposed to in a given day, just really great people.
Cons: Raises and promotions are few and far between, when they are they're really pitiful. In sales it used to be FUN, lots of celebration lots of talking about our successes and really feeling like a market leader. Nowadays its not a fun place to be at all. Lots a pressure, kind of gloomy frankly. Not a lot of confidence in the new CEO. Benefits increasingly expensive every year (>10% annual increase) with something new taken away every time.
