Pros

Pay is competitive. Benefits are good. You have the chance to create products that help improve people's quality of life.

Cons

Not a lot of upward mobility. Corporate takeover lead to a decline in benefits and morale. Employees work in constant fear of layoffs, cutbacks, or demotions because their position was eliminated to improve profitability.
