Pros

very skilled and smart and intelligent people. if management manages well, good project and good company to work for. has many project and many opportunities to capitalise on

Cons

very bad management and too many wrongly executed projects cause morale to be very low. sometimes management has no clue what is happening and make many mis cues to cause the company to fail.

Pros

- interesting products, being #2 doesn't mean your product is that bad - opportunities for internal transfer - challenging problems in both product and research work - generally smart coworkers - feeling of a shared goal / decent morale - fairly open to suggestions for product improvement

Cons

- company in permanent financial trouble; don't count on a bonus - low-grade work environment (cube farm with buzzing fluorescents) - some projects get cancelled, sucks if yours does - missing recognition even with excellent reviews - easy to get stuck with uninteresting, long-term maintenance tasks if you're not careful to avoid them immediately
