Pros

Beautiful office and very good work life balance. Time off was encouraged, lots of company social events. My immediate team was excellent and worked well together

Cons

Profits over everything. Numerous occasions people were cut to save money and then there would be hires in other countries that were significantly cheaper. Total disregard for retaining knowledge of the products and talk of fostering internal growth is extremely hypocritical. Also quality of new products was sacrificed for time in order to push sales.
