Pros

Talented employees, tons of projects to get immersed in, great benefits, a feeling that most employees really do care about patients and want to help them by making the best products possible.

Cons

An inability of the company to get its ducks in a row. There are always issues that continue to hamper progress that seem to stem from poor management coupled with the loss of employees/turnover in key areas due to the RIFs and "leaning down." There is also no career planning in place at this company, and promotions are solely based on the length of time with the business rather than performance/initiative/achievement.
