Pros

Some really sharp people work here. Very good benefits. Lots of work.

Cons

Lots of work, no work/life balance. Unstable and incompetent management is always chasing the next new thing before the last product gets fully baked. Product support costs are spiraling out of control. Incompetent and slow HR dept seems unable to hire new talent. No clarity in the review or bonus allocation process.

There is freedom to approach each project as you see fit. Strong support from senior leadership.

When several programs peak at the same time the hours start to creep up pretty quickly.
