Pros

A job is a job

Cons

No future for engineers after the takeover. They will lay you off when their old products die, and only spend their cash on acquiring new companies to get more revenue.

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and RSUs above average, good place to work if money is all you care about

Cons

Engineers requires to use obsolete tools, no commitment to developing new technology, incremental technology improvements protecting the cash cows even as they become obsolete, terrible office support for engineers (I had to print my own cube name tag after 3 months), you are not building the future world there you are maximizing short term shareholder return
