Pros

The pay is good for as long as your job remains in-country. The pace is mostly reasonable, but it can suddenly change due to what often looks like the whim of upper management - it may be more structured, but it does not appear to be so.

Cons

R&D jobs are moving offshore faster than you can blink, and the quality of the (replacement) labor is so low as to be immeasurable. For people still working in R&D, the pressures continue to mount - and the pool of talent is shrinking rapidly.

Pros

The company used to care about customers, but they removed all the sales people who actually visited and consulted with customers to save travel cost.

Cons

The company's newest CEO, Patrick, only cares about getting back to a Cybersecurity company as fast as possible. Can't sell the company fast enough, but buyers can't get past due diligence periods.
