Pros

Stable company, rapid growth, and deep pockets. They invest in employees, to include annual budget for traveling to conferences and outside training/certification.

Cons

They officially combined with their international owner owner to unify/coordinate efforts. This is not inherently a con, but the dust is settling a bit. The hierarchy gets deeper as the company grows and the decision makers are further from the projects...a bit of a bureaucracy. You have to self-advocate because they can assign tasks without resources, which makes it your fault if it fails. It's not a bad thing but best not to assume they are aware. Click-ish - Non-clickers have to work harder to be appreciated.

Pros

Good work week hours. You get every other Friday off. Plenty of vacation time. Very good 401k. Decent medical benefits. Coworkers are the best to work with. Excellent talent and ingenuity. The developers are top notch, project managers are awesome to work with to a degree.

Cons

If you are a test engineer, you will have every project manager, associate director, director and senior director know better than you how to test software. They conform to the factory based test method. They wont let you deviate so don't try. Even with their extremely educated management, they seem to know little to nothing about Tacit and Explicit knowledge or ignore it outright because it doesn't fit into their outdated method. But aren't above informing you how a test case is to be written so that anyone can run it. (A terrible model that makes lazy testers, expensive test case documents, and crappy software)
