Pros

Higher bonuses than most competitors and good overall compensation. Lots of vacation time. Some really good talent and some good technologies to work with.

Cons

The revolving door of senior managers coming and going is destroying any chance of delivering quality software. Whenever stability in a project is approached, there is a re-org either within Cary or higher up globally, and everyone changes around. New managers are brought in and given huge amounts of responsibility, but no accountability or clear goals. They quickly realize they are unable to change anything and the normal response to this is to obsess about which tools will give them the best reports about which developers are slacking off. A conversation about Jira vs HP ALM vs RTC ... AGAIN ... really?? But a conversation about Java 5 vs Java 8 is impossible for them.
