Pros

Good benefits. Great work-life balance. Pay is decent.

Cons

Slow moving. A few engineering department heads don't talk to each other. Highly engineering-driven company. This manifests in products that don't stick in customer environments. It doesn't understand usability. Very little collaboration between engineering and product teams.

Advice to Management

Hire smart guys. Clean up the mess. Let go of some of your engineering VP(s) who don't collaborate.
