Sales Engineer
Pros: Great company with a superb reputation to have in your resume. Flexible hours and ability to telecommute for most jobs. May be asked to fly out anywhere in the world where customers are. Which is great if you like to travel.
Cons: Old buy network at the management level and politics between managers, groups and product silos.  Very low chance of advancement specially if you get pegged really good with some product(s). They buy a lot of companies and will do anything needed to make quarterly numbers. That is both good and bad . Salaries are in the low to mid end on the scale.
