Pros

Market leader Great products Good support in the field Good training Decent pay and great benefits

Cons

Leadership My division's products were becoming commodities...not good in a down economy..so not the most innovative technology favoritism - horrible, biased management of employees; which makes sense because most of the people at the company have been there for decades, and only promote people they like commission, bonus structure is weak
