Cons

The organization I worked for was very technically untalented. The team did not have fundamental backgrounds in computer science, and it showed. There was also an over-reliance on offshore teams to do a majority of the work, which is done in an extremely sloppy manner. There are no code conventions, causing the codebase to be a complete disaster.

Also, being an Application Engineer is the lowest-paying job title in a technical position. Coupled with being in a low-cost-of-living area, the income they offer isn't even competitive with the rest of the market.
