The Kool-Aid needs more sugar
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
June 13, 2008
Pros: Executives do a good job of fiscally managing the company.
Nice campus with an on-site gym, cafeterias, and coffee shop.
* Free drinks for employees
* Relaxed dress code
* Flexible work schedule
If you look hard enough, you can find some interesting projects to work on.
Cons: No salary increases in the last several years. Entire sites were skipped over even as other sites did get raises.
Overuse of the words "collaboration" and "innovation" by management. Just because the words are spoken, that alone doesn't make it happen.
Large corporate environment, lots of politics, process, and lack of communication.
Lots of jobs heading to India and China.

Pros: There's a great work-life balance and benefits. Being in IT, there was always a project to work on, and the campus was cool.
Cons: There wasn't a sense that the work I did mattered or was even intellectually stimulating. We would also have to work nights or weekends because the deploy process was archaic.
