Pros
  • Exciting, cutting-edge technology.
  • Products across almost every enterprise area, so there's lots to do.
  • Senior management knows how to make money.
  • Decent cafeterias and an excellent campus (looks like a proper HQ, not the generic look of, say, an Intel campus).
Cons
  • Job satisfaction is not management's goal; if you don't like it, get out.
  • Too many projects started without adequate research, resulting in lots of wasted effort.
  • Extremely political environment.
  • Must fight for pay, promotion, recognition.
Advice to Management
  • Try digesting each of your acquisitions fully before making the next one.
  • Employees are people; treat them as such.
