Ups and Downs
Pros: Great benefits package, good diversity, great location (RTP, NC), strong IT infrastructure and intranet, good fitness center, potential for lateral movement to new jobs, good growth in software and services
Cons: Hardware design is fading fast:  Far too many layers of technically incompetent management, too many floaters in the system that aren't contributing to the company, poor effort to retain top technical talent in hardware, increasing outsourcing, stockholders arguably get better treatment than employees
