Pros

Good compensation, talented co-workers, and a plethora of opportunities.

Generally positive work environment, though this can change based on the team you are on.

Cons

Management is focused on re-organizing the business and has lost touch with the market.

Lots of people are moving around right now, and projects are being shelved or killed left and right.

Advice to Management

The instability since the re-org announcement has been detrimental to productivity across the board. Nine months after the announcement, and there still isn't a clear vision for some organizations. This does not make for a comfortable work environment.
