Pros

. Fast pace of work and broad technology innovation, honest/upright executive management. . Opportunity to do business with with a rich set of customers worldwide. . Great set of talented employees worldwide who are willing to learn and contribute. . Among non-management employees - open atmosphere, constructive criticism is encouraged

Cons

. Virtually 24-hour work cycle due to dense product roadmap and worldwide customer base. . Difficulty of commercializing new technologies is often underestimated . Product lifecycle is not managed as effectively as it can be: e.g. new products are added without considering the sustained/continued growth of existing products (and resources required for sustaining vs. designing new products). . Hardware and Software leverage from existing products can be improved considerably.
