Pros

Lots to learn and do which means job security if you're concerned about that.

Cons

This is definitely not a good place to work. But the thing I hate the most about this place is how managers use your personal life as ammo against you. Are you from a working class family? Well then you can have the worst job in here cause it's still better than anything your parents had right? Do you have lots of student loans? Then you won't mind working this weekend cause you need that bonus right? I can't wait to get out of this dump.

Pros

I loved the enthusiasm and energy from the younger developers. The 401K is good BUT only vests after 3 years! They don't like to mention that part during interviews.

Cons

Far too many politics. Project is put before People and Product - leading to unhappy people and low quality Product. Far too much pressure to meet deadlines - at the cost of quality and even sanity. Too many people looking out for themselves. Getting ahead by stepping on others instead of by showing initiative, innovation, and enthusiasm. Much of this culture seems to trickle down from senior management. You don't see it in the younger folks. Much of it seems to come from Dell and HP (who came from Dell) employees.
