Pros

Campus has a small gym with a very reasonable fee deducted from paycheck, also a Starbucks and a soccer field with astroturf, track for walking/running.

Cons

Management has no clear long term strategy which results in annual cuts of some resources while others work late and on weekends trying to get stuff out the door - but this kind of extra work time heroism is the norm. The staffing is lean with no room to grow (must compete with each other for what money is set aside for rewarding with raises). Many have been here a long time and continue to run projects the same way as if there last 2 decades of process and communications are unknown. Use technology buzzwords with no understanding (aka "agile"), resources are low but schedule moves in so what is left but to go down but quality?

Pros

Extremely smart engineers in Oregon, generally has a decent culture, invincible brand name

Cons

Company profit isn't being reinvested into itself, parent company controls all profit. This can be seen in lack of NPIs.
