Pros

Decent stock grants and benefits.

Cons

Organization seems old. They spend too much money acquiring new businesses without developing out the ones they own very well. They squeeze products for every last penny, lay off huge amounts of staff and then move on. Too many people from different companies trying to prove their value. Rigid structure that makes it hard to get raises.
