Pros

Some very smart people, a great name in technology and software, and overall a good place to learn and gain experience.

Cons

Since the early 2000s, the company has made a major shift away from being innovative and driven by technology. After being there through the 1990s then gone until 2008, I saw a huge difference in commitment and desire to be the best.

Advice to Management

Get people excited again, and when you release a product, stick to it.
