Pros

This place is the most rational place I've ever worked. There are no penalties for not being perfect, everyone constantly supports you and moves as a whole towards improving process, product and communication. If you disagree with someone on anything (design, plan, process,) you just say so, give rational reasons why and then work out the best way to moving forward with whatever it is. Combine that with management who actually listen and care about the individuals in the trenches and you have a great place, fun and insane loyalty. Seriously...the CEO is respected and almost idolized. The chief scientist has fanboys at conventions! It's terrific!

Cons

If you like fast-paced startups that turn on a dime, this place is not for you. Not all the teams are "slow", but being rational means being careful and looking at all the angles before taking steps towards a plan. The belief is that there is one "right thing" for every problem. They try very hard to find it each time. That can make progress seem sluggish.

Pros

CEO is low key and work harder than anyone in the company. Good infrastructure.

Cons

Some mid-tier managers became manager because they stayed with company long time, not because of their capability. Interview process is lengthy and official not practical. Some smart people, but many are average since company doesn't offer competitive salaries. They hire people from south west low salary area to save cost. You have to watch out the bonus term. It is not percentage of your base salary. Rapidly hired many people in recent year, but revenue is flat even keep offering products discount.
