Pros
Very good benefits (health insurance, vacation, stock purchase plans). Usually a good work/life balance. The office has a good location downtown. You can play with some of the best tech in speech recognition.
Cons
Product management has no vision. There is too much focus on R&D and IP, because R&D sucks at D (development) and nobody knows what to do with out IP other than selling their rights. Experience is the only thing that's recognized, not talent or quality. IT is incompetent. There are highly politically isolated groups, even years after a merger. Few good "vertical integration" engineers or "overall vision" managers; everybody's narrow-minded and isolated.
