Pros

Great projects to work on. There is always an abundance of challenging problems that need to be solved. Depending on the group there is adequate time given to thinking about short/medium term research.

Cons

A lot of bureaucracy has been present recently. Also as a growing company engineers have a lot more challenges integrating with acquisitions.

Cons

extremely lofty goals no merit increase for some time compensation level below industry always reorganizing not enough resources provided in the field they do not take competition seriously reseller channel losing interest since new management brought on, incomplete new products constantly released new acquisitions that provide new products are slow to roll out and time isn't given to develop a sales cycle on new products Enough resources are not provided on new product sets under the new dictatorship, employees are no longer people

Pros

salary and benefits on par with industry. very knowledgeable and capable core employees (most might have already left as of now).

Cons

notorious in-crowd culture--either you're in, or you're out. rampant POLITICS throughout the company which seem to be driven mostly by middle management who prefers to place their employees in silos as a way to sever communication and collaborative efforts amongst teams. daily gossips and back-stabbing is not uncommon.
