      Lucrative but intensely frustrating.

      Pros

      Great benefits and work/life balance.

      Cons

      Priorities shift every year and too many competing viewpoints at Product Management level. Very slow product development process with unwieldly tools. Some groups very secretive and protective of turf; "Prove to us that it is our bug, but you can't look at our code." Since most products were acquired, not developed in house, there is no consistency in how products work internally or integrate. Some acquired groups have inexperienced engineers. Useless review process and no raises to speak of. Highest management levels do not inspire confidence. Product planning and scheduling are top down. Schedules always have to slip, by a lot. *Always*.
