Pros
Un-tracked PTO, large corporate benefits (health, dental, 401k, etc).
Cons
Ascend is a typical big acquisition company. Everything is about squeezing the child companies as much as possible to increase the short-term bottom line without regard to the long-term effects upon the software's marketability/functionality. The CTO has an off-shore first policy. All development is moving to a shared resources approach. All projects must go through architectural council, conform to specific technologies, and be beneficial to other business units to get approval. They ignore the subject matter experts. They refuse to back-fill dev positions. The list goes on. Don't work here. It will kill your soul.
