Pros

Financially very solid.

Have some very clear product strategy.

Good compensation and benefits.

Cons

Very fragmented, typical to any firms that have grown mainly through acquisition. Team spirit and member quality vary significantly. One team's dev lead won't survive as a regular engineer in another team.

Have to use the worst version control system ever (ADE - yuck).

CEO is generating some news, mostly very saucy and flamboyant. The industry hates us.

Advice to Management

Sigh.
