Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEO
Pros
  • Good pay and perks for the area, job stability.
  • Not as many long nights as at a startup.
  • The company has a lot of resources.
Cons
  • Boring! Other companies in the industry are doing much more interesting things.

  • It's a huge company; don't expect to feel much camaraderie with coworkers or be kept informed of (the few) interesting things going on in the organization.

  • Very top-down (compared to startups and other companies in the software industry).

Advice to Management
  • Innovate more.
