Pros

Everything is about the customer and their needs, which guides management in the right direction Integrity is valued by management if not always practiced Great co-workers Good work/life balance Encouraged to learn new technologies and methodologies

Cons

It is a conservative company and isn't willing to invest in development of new technologies and projects. New technology is aquired, not developed. So R&D does a lot of integration and maintenance. Middle management is comfortable and slow moving. They are more interested in process and maintaning the status quo instead of driving new initiatives or thinking stratigically. There are few or very restricted opportunities for advancement. (Management entrenched)
