Pros

I had a good team full of kind helpful people.

Cons

When I worked here I was micromanaged big time. My division was one of many that was cut by the IBM as it chases the latest fad underinvests in it and kills it. Dont expect any big raises while at the company Only go here if you dont have any other options
