A better place to work than you've heard
A better place to work than you've heard
Extremely good benefits.
Access to internal resources for help, technology, and future software versions.
Lots of career development directions and options.
Can transfer internally to a wide variety of teams working on different products (sort of like a job change, but without losing your seniority).
Capable management and an excellent financial and competitive position keeps the company solid.
Low-level management communication and leadership ability can vary a lot from team to team.
The company can be erratic about the investments it makes. Projects or teams can be acquired or developed and then cancelled with limited concern for the investment or the people involved.
It can seem big and impersonal at times.
Watch the acquisitions to make sure they will make sense.
