Pros

Average benefits with good work-life balance. However, a good work-life balance often means that you're a target for a RIF.

Cons

The company is moving away from solid product development and more towards the acquisition of companies with semi-mature product suites.

Advice to Management

Reduce the size of the management chain.

There seem to be 3 VPs/Directors/Managers for every employee.

Concentrate on building products again.
