Pros

Casual environment, nice co-workers,family first values

Cons

Constantly having re-orgs and company wide layoffs. Was there for ten years and every year there was one if not two rounds of layoffs. No way to live. The latest large layoff was due to lack of growth. Also, their benefits are no longer that great or competitive as they once were.
