Pros

Nice people, collegial atmosphere, actual offices instead of cubes Large teams on each project so work load is not too stressful usually

Cons

business model based on proprietary technologies/ patent royalties. Under attack on various fronts. Outdated methodologies (VHDL!) and in some cases old/buggy code being carried forward generation after generation Promotions/recognition to a select few, mostly "old timers". Others get average reviews regardless of work/results.
