Pros

Lots of responsibility, SW engineers get decent compensation (everyone else, maybe not so much), the core business makes sense and has potential.

Cons

Some difficult people here and there, not a very exciting product. Company is not disciplined about excess headcount in certain departments which bleeds money. A lot of work has been wasted over changing direction. Some managers are pretty incompetent, which drives a lot of the problems I just mentioned.
