Pros

My co-workers were great. Good group of people, and some of them were very talented at what they do. Free food was very yummy.

Cons

Ridiculous corporate bureaucracy. For a while it seemed like we had a new CEO every 6 months. Of course, each CEO wanted us to maintain LASER FOCUS on our goals. These goals were rarely actually defined and were always short-lived. Also, don't get me started on the annual review process.

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.
