Pros

Good legacy products keeping the major market share, outstanding benefits, motivated engineering staff.

Cons

No clear strategy for the future (or at least poorly communicated), insufficient professional level in certain areas/groups, lack of clear and robust development processes, collaboration tools are below industry standards, growing amount of the politics. The development force is severely understaffed which brings the slow pace of addressing important issues.

Pros

* I enjoyed the collaborative team culture. Everyone was supportive and willing to help each other. * The work-life balance was good, and the overall working environment was relatively low stress. * I had opportunities to work on large-scale enterprise products and collaborate with cross-functional teams.

Cons

* One area I felt could be improved was compensation growth. As my responsibilities and technical skills expanded, I was looking for opportunities that offered stronger career and compensation progression.
