Pros

Good culture of working with people. Work hard at resolving problems. Product is interesting and technically challenging and they work hard at sharing knowledge.

Cons

Management often changes direction and focus. Don't always communicate well. Want more than can be done with the tools they had

Pros

There are a lot of great and smart individual contributors. The occasional company celebrations held were usually done in style and a lot of fun.

Cons

Upper management were out of touch with what was actually happening, and the impact of their cost saving decisions. A lot of time and energy was wasted due to making foolish decisions on capital investments. There was a lot of overcommitting to customers, entirely overriding policies that had been carefully designed to keep an engagement successful.
