Pros

Salary and benefits were great

Cons

Management by ambush. If your management wants to put someone in your position, it is perfectly acceptable for your direct supervisor to find or invent a reason for your termination.

Pros

Excellent Benefits. Great pipeline of products. Its growth has been very strategic. Rarely are their layoffs.

Cons

As it grows into it next phase, it seems to be out with the old and in with the new. People who have been there for years are leaving, along with all of their corporate knowledge, to be replaced with new people at a lower cost
