Pros

One of the biggest software companies in the world. It gives people the opportunity to work in almost any area, offering great career development opportunities.

Cons

The company is undergoing a big crisis now. It adopted too much of a defensive mode to reduce costs and short term investment plans to increase sales, not paying much attention to future technology evolution. Decision makers are 100% business oriented, while technology and R&D is taking a secondary role, not in charge of any decisions. Do not expect management or business people to understand technology at all, and do not expect a brilliant career if you are a technical expert. A huge mistake for a technology company that forgot about its roots.

Pros

-Technological superior to most other companies with use of AI and promising future tech/programs -benefits and pay are very competetive -room for professional growth and advancement if you know how to work in a corporate environment -resume development and professional advancement

Cons

-leadership ideology doesnt match the company/CEOs mission statement or belief (company is said to be all for safety yet leaders get put in charge and quickly dismantle and lay off 3 quarters of the safety department) -Leadership changes structure to benefit themselves by having all support functions report to them instead of the CEO, this ensures all support functions take a back seat to production and financial gain to include their employees well being -Company restructured and reorganizes very often while showing no loyalty to the employees who work hard and want to stay, this leads to turn over of great employees.
