Pros

GREAT brand within IT, industry leader at what they do, GREAT training, well invested training, very organised, good resources available, reliable and honest structure, great work life balance....

Cons

Too political, pays very poor salaries and commission, have to make "friends! and political alliances to advance "promoting your personal brand, an accepted concept!, some horrific management (depending on team) in some teams, beyond bad! just shocking! Very primitive sales program, too aggressive sales program for the product we were selling, poor cultural understanding for a global company, very arrogant attitude towards staff and customers, with the belief its justifiable due to the brand, don't understand how to treat people...

Pros

- Great health benefits and salary - A few great colleagues - Talk a lot about inclusion but this has slowly been falling to the wayside - I have been struggling the write this for some time as I wish there were more positive things to say

Cons

- Leadership that does not see anyone or anything but themselves - The company has been imploding for a while lying to the public and the street - Killing off the research model has been the final decision that has made many decide to look elsewhere (including me) - Lay off after lay off has created a culture of fear
