Pros

Fairly relaxed, flexible hours, 9/80 schedule, easy to convince others that you are an expert in a particular area or product.

Cons

Company is in a constant state of flux and reorganization. Project Management side of the business wants to make change in culture but doesn't follow through on supporting other segments of the organization (engineering in particular). Even though there have been quite a few layoffs seems most of the folks let go were the productive people and an overwhelming amount of dead weight is still around. The company management structure is more like office space with no clear directive on a day to day which makes it tough to make progress on anything.

Pros

Supportive team environment with good learning opportunities and exposure to large-scale projects. Compensation and benefits are competitive, and the company offers strong brand recognition and career development resources.

Cons

Decision-making can be slow due to layers of management, and processes sometimes feel overly bureaucratic. Workload and priorities can shift quickly, which may create stress depending on the team.
