Pros

Good benefits, mostly friendly atmosphere.

Cons

Constantly reorganizing and replacing managers. Too many hands in the cookie jar with engineering projects. Typical ruthless publicly traded company, shareholders are more important than employees and customer satisfaction. The company will reduce head count to please shareholders regardless of the merit of employees. The engineering department is being off-shored.
