Pros

Relaxed environment. If you get the right tech lead/guide/architect, one can learn a lot. Developers who just get smart solutions for problems are recognized at the last, while the guys with bragging rights get it first. (At least doers get it some day)

Cons

Even if you don't work they sometimes don't care. Immature Management skills. Poor people management capabilities The top management want to change the company way of working and bring it back to stability, but they are facing resentment and politics from middle management, so the right message doesn't get passed through, in the org hierarchy sometimes...For example top management wants people to work hard and bring the org back to profit making...This message has been never permeated to the teams my their product management/people managers

Pros

Work/Life Balance... you can pretty much name your own hours and people come and go as they please much of the time. Benefit are good versus the competition, at least they were back when I joined.

Cons

The Irving campus is so far from Finland sometimes it seems we might as well be a 3rd party. There's very little training made available to employees. You can never travel anymore, even if it would really help the project. No one wants to spend the money. There's pretty much no leadership in Irving... just a bunch of small groups banded together in the same office building. The working environment is "open"... a bunch of short-walled cubes that makes it easy to sit around and chat, hard to get work done.
