Pros

You can work for a good team, Market leader in most of the segment. Lots of new stuff learned every day.

Cons

Still works in a startup mode. Always trying to satisfy the next customer. Not much long term vision and time spend to achieve the vision. Due to recent Re orgs, lot of politics between every team.

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is good, the work can occasionally be interesting, and the company makes the right products at the right time. Management is pretty flexible about your schedule as long as the work gets done.

Cons

There is very little chance of career advancement unless your boss gets hit by a truck, the schedule can occasionally get brutal, and it is pretty easy to get stuck doing the same thing forever. No effort is made to advance anyone's technical skills.
