Pros

Flexible work schedules and good benefits. People are generally good to work with and company has a laid back culture with a great deal of diversity. Products combine technology from a number of different areas and there is little hording of information.

Cons

Lack of high level strategic direction. Career opportunities limited by lack of growth. Reduced emphasis on development of new technologies and engineering and marketing have become un-focused. Internal processes have begun to lag behind industry standards. Slow adoption of new ideas. Moral was high but is slipping as the "good old days" get further and further away. No clear indication from management that they know a way forward
