Pros

Great product with great direction. Some very smart people that care about the company, their coworkers and their performance. Good to great facilities depending on location. Very competitive compensation packages.

Cons

Management that uses "The Prince" as an operations manual. Utter lack of promotions. Rolling layoffs with no end in sight. Morale is nearly as low as it can get. Hiring chiefs while firing workers. Nepotism.

Pros

Lots and lots of very smart people to work with Cutting-edge technology and developers who are, generally, glad to talk about it Loose corporate culture - no need to be pretentious to be respected!

Cons

Can be a politically charged atmosphere Not as glorious as, say, Microsoft. Company by engineers for engineers, for the most part.
