Pros

Excellent Flows.. too difficult to make a mistake. Oppurtunity is more to learn, and the work environment promotes that.

Cons

Cons only form the employee point of view, as too robust flow make the engineer less do engineering work :)

Pros

* Great community feeling, informal atmosphere, socially laid-back co-workers and managers * Middle-level managers try to be as transparent as possible about 'people management', review process, executive mis-directions etc * Relatively alright work-life balance. Management takes care of your life balance as much as fairness might allow. * Flex hours, work from home available - very flexible work environment

Cons

* Completely clueless engineering upper-mgmt. * Complete vacuum for entrepreneurial zest - even within engineering: More focus on incremental improvements than radical changes * Very little lateral opportunity: very easy to get pigeonholed into doing the same job - incrementally better - for years. In fact, this is a pro for people seeking deep dives into their field of choice. * Non-existent professional improvement opportunities * VERY cyclical business model: Company goes to the brink and comes back from it after selling off assets and getting rid of 10% US workforce.
