Pros

Great experience, you learn a lot about some of the cutting edge technologies that are going into computers in the near future.

Cons

Basically impossible to get promoted on your own merit- you have to play the game and make the right friends. This, of course, then means that you have a lot of people at the upper levels who aren't really smarter or better than their lower-down colleagues, but are adept at backstabbing. May just be a feature of the group I was in, though.

Pros

If you know what you are doing you will do well. Benefits are above average. Profit Sharing is nice when it's available. Pay is above normal for high achievers. Flex work, relaxed atmosphere (like more silcon valley companies)

Cons

Usually means longer hours necessary Unsteady company finances means ups and downs regular in a couple years time It's a perenial underdog (this is usally a plus for those working there)

Pros

Managment puts resources in right place when asked for. Encourages innovation and helps with lowering the time to market for key products.

Cons

Low pay compared to similar jobs elsewhere. Too much time spent in meetings and unnecessary discussions. Too much email and phone meetings.
