Pros

1. Exciting products that serve a wide variety of customers and genuinely help them with their work. 2. Interesting customers. 3. Enthusiastic co-workers. 4. Good benefits package. 5. No layoffs (so far)

Cons

1. Lower pay than average. 2. Getting the job done satisfactorily requires long work hours making it difficult to spend time with the family sometimes. 3. Large turnover in some departments--people get burned out. 4. Management is often younger and lacks experience. This can lead to make rash decisions that haven't been thought out completely or aren't aligned with the longer term goals.
