Pros

Smart people at the lower levels, lots of challenges available. Solid product line.

Cons

Senior Management doesn't seem to be able to execute a consistent strategy. Decision-making capabilities are weak and always have to flow from the top, resulting in long periods of time needed to make relatively simple decisions. Extreme micro-management. Very top-heavy with senior leadership (Director and up), lots of whom are very new, limiting career advancement opportunities for people who have been there for a while. Poor communication about corporate vision and goals.
