Pros

Reasonable work/life balance. Interesting development work. Used to be a lot of very sharp people. Most workers are nice colleagues.

Cons

Engineers are treated as interchangeable cogs. Very little appreciation for experience and skill. Mgmt pushes very hard for unattainable short schedule projections. Mgmt is too concerned with assigning blame for problems. Lots of favoritism. Frequent layoffs affect morale.

Pros

401K match is ok; GICP is now almost zero

Cons

Read the news - company is going private; layoffs each month; morale is to the lowest point. Management is very bad, no good decision makers, too much politics, promote incompetency (based on bias and politics rather than real talent).
