Pros

A lot of small benefits like free food, free upgrade to Dell curved screen, free vending machine to get apple accessories like keyboard, magic mouse, etc. Use a lot of open source tools and open to integrate with latest open source software.

Cons

Not stable, net income decline year by year. Lay off happens almost once every year...

Pros

Relatively easy to get things done for a company with such a long history. Certainly not "start up" like, but processes like resource allocation have less overhead than working at a company like Google. Pay was pretty good for the midwest. I hear they are currently pretty open to remote work. It's also not the hardest place to work.

Cons

Opportunities are limited in software engineering. Since Apollo took over, SE was viewed mostly under the lens of "what is the least we can invest here to get the job done". There used to be a really good office in Champaign with lots of very talented software engineers put together. That's gone now.
