Good but was better

Pros

Work is fun, and I am lucky to be in a great team. Campus is great, benefits are good, and Plano is a great city. Depending on the team and the department, the culture and the senior leaders can be very open and understanding.

Cons

Too much outsourcing hurts morale. New employees get hired at $20-40k above midpoint, and many people joke that it's better to leave the company for a year and try to get hired back because of the raise. Depending on your department, promotion opportunities can be very limited and attrition can be as high as 100% per year.

Pros

Smart, motivated coworkers and lots of recognition/praise for a job well done. Intelligent and smart leadership, generally making good decisions. Great benefits (vacation, flex time, work from home - sometimes). Great facilities. Interesting work. Great training classes.

Cons

Too much work - many at the Manager + level work 55-65 hours a week. They say they support working from home, but typically only on Fridays. Too many meetings where phone calls/emails/IM could suffice. Too many meetings mean not enough time for work. Performance management process intense and cumbersome; too complex. Expect that once you get in, you'll be at that level for 3-5 years - hard to get promoted. Not as many options for promotion/advancement as you think unless you are Sr Mgr+ and are willing to leave your line of business.
