Pros

*Excellent Health Benefits (could be changing soon) *Decent Comp. Plans *Above-board, open-door corporate culture *Talented co-workers and managers *Tons of educational and knowledge expansion opportunities

Cons

*Nobody at the top layer leaves, so VERY limited upward mobility *Office politics are worse than most *Company getting increasingly stingy with options, RSUs, etc. *Innovation and pushing the envelope not encouraged. Don't rock the boat *Very "inside-out" development mentality which is typical of Engineering-focused companies ("I just built this cool widget, now let's figure out who wants to buy it.")

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
