Pros

Some really great, talented colleagues. Perks like free lunch and Verizon wireless discounts.

Cons

Not great manager experiences and constant layoffs while I was there. Career development was virtually non-existent and moving within the company was discouraged and unreasonably difficult. Received "promotion" which included taking on new team and responsibilities for an entire year before the monetary and 'official' title promotion followed.

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.
