Pros

Pays well; reasonably good benefits; market leader; good location in Silicon Valley; good products; don't need to be a superstar or work horrible hours; many good co-workers

Cons

Lots of politics; weak upper mgmt; surprisingly weak middle mgmt; forced vacations at Christmas and July 4th; no strong vision; typical Silicon valley company which rides a wave but can't catch the next set
