Pros

Some good leaders, people passionate about the products. Nice facilities.

Cons

IT infrastructure is obsolete, and the Board and Executive Management are too cheap to upgrade it to something useful. In fact, the Board and Executive Management are the worst things about this company - only thing they care about is the stock price. Very little care for the employees themselves.

Pros

You can work on one of the only really well built embedded platforms in existence. Some brilliant code goes into it, and the problems are never easy.

Cons

The executives, through their consistent short-sighted decision making over the course of a decade or so, have basically driven the business into the ground. You'll consistently be forced to basically fist fight to get them to allow you rewrite things "properly" -- it's always "this release needs to go out" or "well, we can't hire a team for that". Go figure the stock is in the toilet when you refuse to ever invest and advance the technical stack that is your breadwinner, and focus on stupid quarterly goals that mean nothing if the entire business goes down.
