Pros

This is a company that seems to be turning a corner, however 2014 will show whether new management's initiatives will be bearing fruit or not. There is definitely an energy on the main work campus which hasn't been there for a long time, and people are generally feeling positive.

Cons

The company tends to operate in silos, so much so that information sharing can be difficult, especially for larger multi-team projects and initiatives. This makes it especially challenging for program managers. There is no consistent way to run projects, which further makes it difficult when dealing cross-group.

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.
