Pros

Good work life balance, this is to be expected as a lot of products are matured and not much challenging work left to do.

Pay is ok, it's improving, although not enough if you want to live in Cambridge with family.

There are still some excellent people in the company.

Good brand name.

Cons

As many products are matured, not many challenges nor opportunities for growth.

Self serving management, constant reorg only to promote managers. Many managers, sometimes it is hard to figure out some managers function.

Although a global company, lack of awareness among managers and engineers about this fact and have unfair expectations on behaviour and communication (English) irrespective of people's origin, unconscious/conscious bias is seen.

Key to career progression is visibility, visibility and visibility.

Being difficult to work with and micro management gets you recognition.

Lots of useless process, using of Agile where it is not suitable for example.
