Pros

Great engineers, smart people, free food, decent benefits (not extra-ordinary)

Cons

Incompetent executives. The company is in a constant state of re-org. There is a re-org every month. There is total lack of innovation in the company and there is a massive talent drain in the company. Most people I know who quit did not leave for poor compensation or poor stock grants: Its because there is no faith in a management that is running around like headless chicken. There are no career opportunities because the company is not growing. The environment is getting very political and lacks transparency. The core product has not changed in years.
