Pros

Lots of work, room for promotion, opportunity to implement change.

Cons

Old fashioned work ethic, slow to embrace change, decision authority not delegated from high level management. Management seems to feel that unpaid overtime is the solution to every problem.

Pros

Good working environment Exciting projects Great coworkers (for the most part, like any place)

Cons

Like any maturing company, it has become more and more top-heavy, placing more and more emphasis on project management and milestones, sometimes over bread-and-butter engineering. I could have half the PMs I have now and do a better job
