Pros

*Excellent Health Benefits (could be changing soon) *Decent Comp. Plans *Above-board, open-door corporate culture *Talented co-workers and managers *Tons of educational and knowledge expansion opportunities

Cons

*Nobody at the top layer leaves, so VERY limited upward mobility *Office politics are worse than most *Company getting increasingly stingy with options, RSUs, etc. *Innovation and pushing the envelope not encouraged. Don't rock the boat *Very "inside-out" development mentality which is typical of Engineering-focused companies ("I just built this cool widget, now let's figure out who wants to buy it.")
