Modern Sweatshop
Pros: - Big company, lot of facilities, gym, nice campus etc
- Each group has its on culture
Cons: - Some of the groups are modern sweatshops. Made people work 16 hrs across globe and weekends, but wont compensate anything..no raise or bonus of options for most of the employees.
- Poor salary. New college hires will get more salary than an employ worked for 10yrs in some of the groups.
- Some of the groups are heavely into process. They even forget what the processes are created for.
Career - Promotions are given as replacement for benefits. If you know the management well you can get a nice title.
Snr Management is rewarded at the cost of hard working employees.
If you want to retire - this is the best place.
20% of the employees work like dogs, 80% is enjoy their life. its like big Federal Govt office.
Innovation, creativity - non existent.
Some of the management runs their groups like their kingdom. Rules are made on the fly..
HR has no role - Unless a manager want to screw up some employee. Then HR will in the forefront to help the manager.

Customer support - Sucks big time. Most products are buggy because of over worked and low moral on employe side.
