Pros

Proven product, continued growth through the recession. Decent technology investment, emphasis on absorbing new practices (agile, lean) even if it means change, and movement towards new technologies. Technology closer to the business domain than most organizations. Less chaotic than companies of similar and larger size.

Cons

Not always as strategic, tends towards opportunistic approach to business and tech development. Structure creates entanglements of large groups needing to be involved on decisions but improvements underway.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
