Pros

Get to work on some interesting projects.

Cons

At the Raleigh operations division, be prepared for someone to be in the hot seat at all times. Certainly, don't believe the open door policy of management or that they will help you resolve any issues. As a top-performing employee (the only one to get a bonus several years in a row) who brought an employee conflict to management's attention (the person had taken credit for my work, and also created a hostile environment), I was told that although I'd gone above and beyond, the fact that I would have asked for help resolving this situation (there were actually quite a few of them, it is a dog-eat-dog world there) meant that I got no salary increase whatsoever. I was flabbergasted, to say the least. Things went downhill from there. This company's horrible (and often uneducated) senior management caused several good usability engineers to flee as soon as the economy picked up. I tried to stick it out, but it was causing health issues including all-over body pain and migraines. I've worked in difficult environments before, but this one is particularly inhospitable. Some people, no matter whether they scream, throw things, bully, whatever...they will be allowed to continue this destructive behavior.
