Pros

Good people. Nice buildings with lots of light. Decent benefits. Free coffee - it's not good but it's free!

Cons

Raises and bonuses are unheard of. Although there is a bonus program, there is always a multiplier of zero, even when the company is doing exceptionally well. The only way to progress your career is to transfer to another team or leave the company and then get re-hired in a more senior role. The Executive Leadership Team and upper management have no clue what is actually happening at the ground level. The product line is a disorganized mess. As a result of the continuous acquisitions, there are products competing against each other and a complete lack of innovation. Incomplete products are routinely released. Poor communication between teams. Most managers prefer the "CYA" approach to actually trying to solve problems through collaboration.

Pros

Many employees are really quite good and you can learn from your peers. While the technology the company has acquired has not kept pace with competitors , because there are so many components it still remains possible to assemble compelling solutions.

Cons

The current CEO, his executive hires and their 2nd level management hires brought in over the past 18 months are surprisingly weak and unprepared to lead. Sadly, the culture has evolved such that all decisions are made by the CEO and his direct reports. The result is that they're making so many trifling decisions that the quality of the important decisions has declined. Put another way, the big, strategic decisions have been consistently poor.
