Pros

This is the largest company I've worked for but the engineering and marketing staff are all very intelligent and productive. Benefits are top notch.

Cons

Legal department is understaffed and hyper conservative when it comes to open source because of their IP business. Lots of red-tape. IT is conservative but needfully so I suppose. Working outside the mothership (Cambridge) makes us a bit 2nd class citizens unless you're willing to travel to Europe and APAC frequently.

Getting busier than what it used to be. In a way that’s good.
