Pros

Competitive salary, pleasant working surroundings, good 401K and benefits

Cons

micro-management, lots of 'reductions in force' (management doesn't want to call them layoffs). What was once a great company to work for, even 3 years ago, has become just a part of a large corporate machine with no heart or soul. Loyalty to the company and years of experience is no longer considered valuable under the new ownership.
