Pros

Work-life balance. Good dental, vision, and healthcare. Latest Linux or AIX software.

Cons

Doesn't invest in lab infrastructure upgrades. Low or rarely gives raises. 19 quarters of missing revenue. Uses early user hardware too long and doesn't upgrade them to the latest levels that customers use.

Advice to Management

Let me do my job of finding code bugs, opening defects, and testing patches.

Too much other paperwork: lab machine security records (SSCA), certifying machines (EAMT), or shipping forms.

Invest in your network and SAN areas.
