Pros

Good pay. Highly motivated co-workers at my site. Unusually high autonomy at our site, but not most others.

Cons

Very heavy bureaucracy when working on Symbian main code line. Slow to respond to needed software and hardware upgrades, though they were getting there before Elop.

Pros

Decent starting salary, good benefits, generous PTO

Cons

1% raises forever. Last promotion I got to Principal had no raise but a bump in bonus percentage. Now they are giving kids 8-12% raises and they have less than 5 yrs. Once you hit about 5 yrs you will get the 1% a yr and be pigeon holed into a specific job. Then good luck trying to change.
