Pros

Great engineers in the USA and interesting products. challenging issues to work on...no end to the issues. Benefits are really nice and good vacation/PTO policy.

Cons

Proprietary solutions in a world going open source. Tied to Ericsson too closely. Only "cool" stuff gets done in Sweden and Japan (Sony and Ericsson), even when it could be done better and more efficiently in USA. Software technology stuck in the 80s. Forgot more than i learned in my decade there.

Pros

As a large company there are many opportunities within to move around in. Management created a friendly culture and work is interesting.

Cons

Innovation seems to be slowing down, or they seem puzzled as to how to react to competitors like Apple in the mobile industry and music industry.
