Pros: Large company with resources and lots of marketing power.

Cons: Employee impact is small. Constant change of direction.

Pros: Benefits include large software development company experience, which will be beneficial to other companies. Other benefits: training resources, telework. Get the training and experience, then leave. Your experience will be good. Do not expect to retire in this company.

Cons: No raises, promotions, or bonuses in years. Not much opportunity for advancement up. The company has been through so many acquisitions that there is no unified company culture. Experience depends on which team you are in. They will move you around (with no say in the matter) so you are always the "new guy" to justify no bonuses, promotions, and pay raises. Development work moved to India. Any developers that leave are replaced by ones in India. Managers will make every effort to try to push you out the door so they can hire more developers with their budget in India. They will work you to death: late hours, weekends.

Pros: Good benefits, work from home, stable.

Cons: No raises, no raises, no raises.
