Pros

Technical team is great, if cliquish. Benefits are solid company is financially solid, top management is sincere. Has large industry foot print.

Cons

Management is shaky at times, blames individual contributors for management failures. Does not always give notice nor severance. Small cubes, crowded noisy floors, hard to get creative. Lower and middle management does nto get enough or proper training.
