Don't plan on staying long
Pros: Pay is decent, some benefits (for now). A lot of smart people to work with and good networking opportunities.
Cons: Plan on staying at the same level and pay as when you are hired, because you will not get a promotion. Even with stellar appraisals from your management and their approval for promotion, it won't happen. There is a serious top down push to cut costs wherever possible and that means your chances of a promotion or raise are slim to none even if your management recommends you for one.  Hurd is bringing over a bunch of his buddies from HP who now run several major orgs and they are implementing the same cost-cutting strategies that brought HP down. Negotiate a good offer up front and don't plan on staying for more than a couple of years if you want to take your career somewhere.
