Pros

Company cafeteria, decent benefits and pay, smart people and most are creative.

Cons

Backstabbing is the norm, nepotism rules, you may as well join a union when you realize that peoples offices are given to them based 1st on tenure then on position. Management is too worried to make the right decisions and the twice a year review process is a horrific implementation of bashing peoples character with people who have no clue how to write a professional review. Employees are worked 70+ hr weeks and made to feel that they are fortunate to have a job there.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
