Pros

it's a good software company to work with. It's products, namely Matlab and Simulink, hold the leading position in the industry.

Cons

In this economic downturn, more and more I feel disappointed of the company's handling of the layoffs it has been carrying out. It's secretive at the best, very sneaky. Employees often get the news of who gets let go by the word of mouth. The company basically refuses to admit any layoff.

Software only, not much hardware. Limited ambition among coworkers.
