Pros

There are teams of great people at this company. Everyone works very hard. Benefits are good. Pay is good. CEO means well, has a good heart, but ....

Cons

There are political players, building little kingdoms. R&D runs the show, and R&D management will say they listen to customers, but the resulting buggy and user-hostile software demonstrates otherwise. Personal growth is limited.
