Pros: There are many different divisions doing interesting/fun projects, and accepting a position in the "right" division can make all the difference in job satisfaction. The benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k) are outstanding, and it was the rare employer that, if you performed well, offered either a pay raise or bonus every year.

Cons: The communication from upper management is terrible (CE* management might be the industry's worst, as the push for near-term profits is propped up by relentless cost-cutting). Internal mobility is poor, leading to attrition across the ranks. Additionally, it isn't uncommon for the company to freeze internal transfers, which further increases the attrition rate. Recent layoffs have forced talented employees out, as the company's current priorities are not to find ways to retain good employees to invest in new projects and products, but rather to eliminate unwanted lines of business and maximize investor returns. For an employer with so many job openings, freezes and blindly laying off groups lose employees that could have readily filled other roles at the company. Generally not a bad place to work, but a lack of vision (the company has created little that wasn't added via M&A) and ongoing staff turnover is crippling the ability to innovate and create the next great product.

Pros: Work-life balance is good. Easy to make large applications using frameworks.

Cons: Learning is less since we are using a framework.

Pros: Can’t find any pros in my tenure.

Cons: Where do I start? * No hike for 2-3 years. * Even if you get a hike after 2-3 years, it will be nominal, single digits. * The team culture is really bad, with no work-life balance whatsoever. The team lead will keep asking your work status every hour. Too much micromanagement. * The manager has left the team to the team leads, and the team leads are running the circus, trying to prove that even with fewer resources they can deliver a lot. * If you are not friends with the team lead, you are doomed.
