Pros

Good pay & benefits Building a solid pipeline of products Nice friendly working environment Smart people who want to make a difference

Cons

Political organization, need to know what people are saying about you behind your back. If you disagree with direction or ideas you may be seen as a "problem" and not a team player unless you have a mgr who is willing to back you up.
