      Depends on what project you're assigned to and location

      Software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The upside is that the company builds important products with a fair amount of "gee whiz". Depending on the project, you can have some autonomy. There are some really sharp people. Salary, benefits are very good (1:1 401k match, 16 days/year paid leave).

      Cons

      If you get stuck on a bad project (i.e. one that is doomed before you even hear about it), it can trail you for a long time. It's my experience that when assigned to a project, some crucial technical decisions have already been made (by people not qualified to make them and who aren't responsible for making the darn thing work). A lot depends on the business unit and location. Some work locations provide excellent environments (offices, adequate lab space) while others are just giant cube farms with PhDs in cubicles. General environment seemed better during the employee-owned days.

      The quality of management varies from division to division

      Research scientist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management tries hard to find support for employees who lose coverage, which makes it pretty stable employment in a competitive environment. Management is very supportive of continued education--the company will pay tuition.

      Cons

      The quality of management varies tremendously depending on location. There is no path for career advancement in some divisions. The corporate environment isn't what it was during the good old "employee owned" days.
