Pros

Great products and some of the people I have worked with are terrific. Can be very challenging at times, but work/life balance does take a beating.

Cons

Company continues to downsize every 3 to 5 years making advancement impossible. Compensation continues to be below going rates and annual raises even for top performers can be at or below 2%. Keeps increasing employee health care costs every year which wipes out any merit raise.
