Pros

Great people, great benefits (both fixed and variable) and tend to pay more than similar competitors in the software industry.

Cons

The company tends to acquire expertise rather than develop it's people so advancement/growth opportunities are increasingly limited. After numerous acquisitions the result is a bunch of warring fiefdoms all competing for relevance. Seems that upper management is struggling to find their way. They lack a compelling vision and commitment and instead are placing competing bets in an attempt to satisfy shareholders though successive acquisitions of a less profitable companies.

Pros

compensation generally ranks on the good to high side, benefits are good.

Cons

people need to understand that there is no career advancement, the organization is too flat, with no director level or higher positions ever available. there are some truly mediocre people that have risen through the ranks that are completely unqualified to manage or set product strategy. its not unusual for someone to sit around for 10 years and get promoted suddenly, while younger, more capable team members are left unconsidered. most every other part of the company other than the shrink-wrapped creative suite are completely under-resourced and lack strategic direction. this would include mobile, and the enterprise business unit, which has not a clue what enterprise software is really like.
