Pros

The people there are top notch. It is an inclusive environment, they share knowledge and help each other. Constant exposure to new ideas and technologies. Best group of people I have ever worked with.

Cons

Executive management is not leading. They are unable to articulate goals and direction of company, such as 5 year outlook, 10 year outlook, etc. New technology is up and coming they jump on it without considering what it will bring to the company other than money, so it often takes a while for them to figure out how they will incorporate it into the existing products. They give themselves bonuses and raises while the majority of the company will get promotions without pay raises. Often release security and software updates without vetting. Product versions are fragmented and span a large range making supporting various versions a nightmare.

Pros

Great place for people who like to dig in, learn stuff, try things out, and get stuff done. On-boarding process is basically "Here's your desk." It's up to you to meet people, figure out internal systems, and make your place. Lots of mobility within the company. Excellent benefits and pay. Thought and Technology Leader in key market segments.

Cons

Like many tech companies, this one is highly siloed. Marketing and Product Development seem to have very different perspectives on what the company is, what it does, and where it is going. (I expect this may change with the new CEO, however, being from the PD side of the organization.) Lack of space in the existing location can cause teams to be fragmented across many floors and buildings, creating isolation, and hampering communication.
