Pros

Some good products like Linux and few-good managers but The company is goood if you are working under right management structure but the QA is plagued by few who don’t let talented people speak.

Cons

They promote tooo many associates managers in QA who are technically weak and in low cost regions, internally those managers will never hire talented folks because talent is threat and they want to hire cheap. Top QA management intentionally ignores the problems. There is less of open source culture and more of moving products to be closed and hidden.
