Pros

Decent benefits, opportunities for bonuses.

Cons

There is a culture of cheating on certification examinations; employees are tacitly encouraged to seek out test dumps before taking cert tests.

Upper management only wants to see the certification percentage increase, regardless of the actual skill of the employees. Certifications that are supposed to require 2 years of experience before completion are expected to be obtained in 6 months or less, and it still affects bonuses.

There is a very political atmosphere between organizations within the company, almost like competing against different companies.

Advice to Management

Focus on fostering technical skills rather than the appearance of technical skill, and change the incentive structure to reduce infighting.
