Ok company but limited potential to grow

Pros

work/life balance, nice campus, flexible hours to the extent that your manager is ok with it. On-site services like gym, health-care, child-care, etc.

Cons

Culture is on the stagnant side, limited potential to grow career wise. Strategy from upper-management sometimes doesn't seem to make any sense to front-line developers. Very little flexibility in implementing those strategy once the order has been given.

Nice place if you aren't ambitious

Pros

The Cary campus is posh; the onsite health care is a great benefit, great gym, nice walking trails. People there are generally nice. 401K contributions pretty solid. Has some first-rate technology and talent.

Cons

Salary and bonuses are low compared to other technology employers. Promotions rare because of low turnover. Company structure tends to be static. Re-orgs are ineffective in making change. Some employees work tremendous hours and contribute a lot without much recognition, others are out by 5 pm every day on the nose. I'm fascinated to read many of the other reviews of this company. The very glowing reviews on this site I'd suggest that readers discount as those reflect a lucky few, while many of the others capture very well the malaise that I see there, and was the reason I left.

Pros

*Amazing walking trails *Pretty decent benefits *Free snacks/beverages in break rooms

Cons

*Long hours (not everyone works the "SAS 35") *Low pay (and if you don't have the opportunity to use the benefits- they don't make up for the low pay) *Little to no career development/advancement *Promotions are not based on merit (for the most part)
