Pros

Strong brand with amazing reputation among peers and customers in industry. Flagship products are top among their class. Amazing benefits and work/life balance. SF/SJ locations a plus!

Cons

Like most large companies which rely on a legacy product as cash cow, the company can be fairly conservative and risk-averse.
