Pros

Flexibility, pay, and company recognition

Cons

There have been layoffs and reorganizations every 6 months for what seems like years. While there are initiatives to be "an innovator" and come up with the next great idea, it's been challenging to stay focused when people in the cubicles next to me are being let for and their jobs are transferred to Ireland or Mexico. Management is very top-heavy. Because of this, they often lack the understanding or appreciate the effort of their own employees. Communications between project and product groups are also lacking.
