Pros

1. Flex hours 2. Company's access to a variety of software tools and educational materials 3. Good people with good technical and ethic standards

Cons

1. Constant reshuffling of mid and top management. Resulting no clear vision for product lines and constant confusion. My boss's switched 4 times in one year and I never met any of them in person. 2. No career growth for junior/mid-level engineers. No matter how hard one works, their compensation is virtually identical to a regular performer. 3. Management loves to talk and make promises, but can not carry them through. 4. Too many companies encapsulated in a big company. One would have to break many barriers just to get something done, very detrimental to growth. 5. Legacy company cultures tend to be defensive. Poor work sharing and career mentoring.
