CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is solid, benefits are unreal, and the vacation is great.

Cons

The technology is dated, the purpose of your work limited. As an employee of the r&d team chances are all you will be doing is executing ideas from the business manager with little input.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you do well, and have a supportive team leader and manager, they are very quick to give you more responsibility. Once you are established as a solid team player, there are many opportunities for growth, educational reimbursements and slow but steady raises.

Cons

Some teams are decidedly better than others, ranging from a bunch of very competent folks that would do well almost anywhere, to other teams which seem to be what's left after years of the cream of the crop skimming off to other places. You are not allowed to actively trade, and moonlight coding for open source projects is if not discouraged, at least made quite tedious and difficult.
