Pros

Amazing engineering talents; some very smart people, and some very advanced technologies, Very dedicated work force; would rise to the occasion to meet deadlines and to resolve critical issues, regardless of weekend, holidays, or what not. Most engineers are very nice and work together very well; I learn something new every day.

Cons

Very spread out in terms of geographic sites (Austin, Sunnyvale, Boston, Fort Collins, Orlando, Shanghai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Markham in Canada). Pretty much every SOC project involves at least 6 sites, so depending on your function, an employee may have design sync-up meetings early in the morning or late in the evening.

Pros

The pay is really nice. 3/4 managers I've had actually seem to care! Nice location for most folks.

Cons

They will keep you on contract until they literally cannot anymore. Getting hired on full-time is like pulling teeth.
