      Pros

      Market grows at huge pace and competitors continue to falter. Lots of money to be made in this business even if the company can't execute to product plans.

      Cons

      Lacking in any planning and strategy, therefore all projects are "best effort" and always viewed as failures. Hard to feel good about accomplishments.

      Pros

      Company is doing well and it is well managed Good compensation package Good involvement in the community

      Cons

      You are a drone, just crank it out. Lack of innovation. The only thing this company does is figure out what the next disk drive should be. Lack of team cohesiveness. I don't think the company even knows what that is. Consequence of above: poor communication within the work force.

      Pros

      The company is making money. Depending on what you do, you may not get trapped in multiple meetings all day. Decent bonus during good years.

      Cons

      A very ad hoc approach to development. Chaotic day-to-day life: things appear, disappear and reappear at random. A reasonable fraction of employees are finger- pointy and borderline in ethics matters. PTO is eaten up (by edict) on a quarterly basis, which makes reasonable accrual difficult.
