Pros

There are a lot of opportunities for growth, and managers are very open to helping their employees develop towards a position they'd like to eventually try out elsewhere in the company. If you get in on a product team, you're set. If you work on a small enough team, your tenure will probably be pretty fun. Other good things: they allow dogs on the premises, they have good benefits, their branding colors are a cool blue, and there's a decent culture.

Cons

If you're pulled into the politics, it's hell. There are some bad apples in upper management positions that have zero respect for the little guys. Also, if you get pulled into the IT cube life, it can quickly deaden you.

Pros

good work environment. work schedule can be flexible, I have my control over pace in work without feeling people are looking over my shoulder. most of the people are nice. work-life is somewhat balanced, even though every year there are a few months that could be really busy. 6 weeks sabbatical every 4 years is definitely a plus. generally compensation is pretty good.

Cons

not enough career growth opportunities, you do get recognized if you do a good job, but obviously it is not of manager's concern about your future career development. the whole company lacks the spirit of innovation, as one of the leaders in CAD/CAM industry, it seems the only way to develop its "own" technology is to acquire other small business.
