      Pros

      The environment within the sales dept is very collaborative and almost everyone is willing to offer advice when asked. Promotions are about who you know but good work performance is still recognized and called out. If you don't work and only do the bare minimum then it will take alot longer to get promoted and recognized amongst such a large company.

      Cons

      The beaurocracy and red tape makes it extremely difficult to voice an opinion about an oncoming change. Management listens but makes very little change unless its complaints from a large majority. Very metric based company. Company seems to constantly be undergoing some sort of small or large reorg but from what I've seen, very little downsizing has happened.

      Pros

      Flexibility to work from home The perks, some of which are being eliminated...i.e. the fitness centers, the on-site cafes, home wireless service covered (no more), cell phone coverage (no more), etc.

      Cons

      The seems to be a culture where expediency and politics are valued over efficiency, effectiveness and empowerment. Furthemore, while the working remotely option is valuable, it is also abusive as it tends to also be an abuse of all-access to the employee and the expectation that they will work around the clock. Last but not least, I hear the rhetoric of work-life balance and diversity but it is not apparent when you do basic observation of the day-to-day business environment and work culture.
