Pros

People I have worked with in the company are all great. Work life balance is well maintained by the management. Things are very well planned towards a product release.

Cons

The company is a bit too matured and it is not very easy to get something new into the product from grass root level. There are duplication of projects at big levels due to the scale of the company.

Pros

Being surrounded by bright and passionate individuals makes for a strong growth environment. The readiness of others to help makes this the best place I've ever worked!

Cons

Many "dinosaur" business groups *cough* Windows *cough* want to keep working the way they did when processors had only 1 core and sub-100mhz clock speeds. Times have changed and there are still a few BGs that hold on to the old way of doing things and won't push forward.

Pros

The good employees are very good. The people with real knowledge are willing to share and help you grow and help the company move forward.

Cons

Constant threat of being stabbed in the back if you stand out or speak up about improvement. You will working in what most people would consider less space then a broom closet. There are several company cultures which slow everything. From the Don't Give a darn folks to I been here longer than you so I am always right folks to the I am wearing sandals and gym shorts to work because I am the Star around here.
