Pros

a. Location: In the valley b. Legacy mainstream products work well in the field c. Customers are buffered from the effects of the mismanagement of the last few years d. Cafeteria

Cons

a. "Mean"agement will grin and stab you - (if you are thinking of a marketing job, look elsewhere) b. There is no work-life balance since Moshe and his SVPs took control - (bring Wim out of retirement please!) c. Poor job security - if you're not one of the favored employees d. Marketing is clueless about what customers want and management will force their will on the customer e. Performance management culture came with lousy HR VP from cadence and managers abuse it now.
