Pros

great products and amazing Engineers. Its Great place to learn and have fun at the same time, you will meet one of the best engineers and legends by their own rights,

Cons

Highly Bureaucratic, More Product Managers and EVP's and VP's then Engineers, I would say it has more VP's/EVP's then Cisco/Sun or IBM, The company is driven by Non-Tech people to the frustration of many Engineers who actually innovate and power the company, its really sad.

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
