Pros

Interesting, leading edge field to work in. Strong product set that is very competitive as a solution based on its own merits.

Cons

Vision of leadership can be confusing. Management, at times, can not see the forest through the trees. Company does not always show comittment to grow business. Not clear if they are truly growing the business or setting it up to break into pieces and sell.

Pros

New senior leadership from Cisco, Motorola, IBM, etc. has been aggressively driving change and starting to get a bit of traction. If you can make it through the internal transition and pending Nortel Acquisition there may be many growth opportunities on the other side. New leadership is smart, aggressive, and capable of making things happen quickly

Cons

Very tense work environment. New leadership, strategic changes, and Nortel acquisition have introduced a lot of uncertainty that seems to put people on edge. Benefits are not very exciting and this year saw a no-bonus policy and 2 weeks of furlough - although that will hopefully not continue next year
