Horrible for engineers.

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There really aren't any, unless you have a family and like being the one eyed man in the land of the blind. Also, if you get in good with your manager, it's very easy to slip between the cracks and slack off.

Cons

Hugely political, and managers are not very aware of who the good coders in the group are. Also, it's predominantly a marketing organization, so developers get stepped on. Also, it's heavily process oriented, but now we're trying to become more "agile". So now we have an "agile waterfall", which is just an awful awful idea. It just means that product managers can slack off far more.
