Pros

Good benefits and work from home policy.

Cons

Few legacy products that still bring in revenue. Company financially is just barely doing okay and new product is not doing good at all due ownership politics and one bad decision after another. Lot of outsourcing, layoffs and no good direction makes it a company that you would think twice before even applying for. Draconian style of management due to extreme politics. During my time I went through three CTOs and three directors. Most of the colleagues left the company for better opportunities.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
