Pros

Compensation and benefits are fine. Work/life balance is easy to keep. A great bunch of competent colleagues.

Cons

Culture is driven more by sales than by engineering; innovation is not supported enough for a company that aims to be a top tech company. A lot of decisions are based on politics rather than measurements and facts. It's disappointing for an engineer who wants to give their best, and a lot of talents quit because of this. Low level management is often not supportive, just executors of higher level decisions, rarely able to channel the feedback from lower to higher level.
