Pros

Very smart people there, always evolving, lots of whitespace to work in

Cons

IT dept one of the worst I've ever experienced! Their entire group in Miamisburg is out of the 70s, using out-dated technology and completely failing at their job. Their IT dept throws away millions in buying solutions which end up not working and that costs bonuses for the rest of us. Company lacks any real direction anymore. Addicted to high margin hardware sales. Ignorant of the cloud. Unable to accurately sell their product. Anti-open source mentality.

Pros

Technically challenging, encouraged to use current open source technologies, room for growth for promotion and project leadership. Agile development, continuous integration and test. Company promotes work/life balance, flexible hours. Great benefits.

Cons

Development processes and tracking still conform to waterfall software development model, making it difficult to mesh with agile development. But, mostly it's working.

Pros

A company at the cutting edge of the industry A company with ethical behavior Good training is provided Remote working is encouraged Challenging projects

Cons

A large amount of travel is involved Salary does not seem to be linked at all to performance Performance reviews are more focused on "identifying and filling the gaps in your skills" than on working out how best to use the skills you already have to benefit the company i.e. micro view rather than macro view HR is just awful (as usual) - Bill Gates could be working there and they would be trying to limit his salary as a BASIC programmer rather than identifying his potential to the company
