I've been with the company about 2 years and so far have been treated well; benefits are good but salary is on low side.

Pros

You are working with cutting edge technology, good people, good benefits, good exposure and many opportunities if you want to work internationally.

Cons

Salary a bit on the low side (for me anyway) when compared to previous position. There are layoffs every year (at least since I have been here since '09) as they remove the bottom 10% every year. I think this hurts morale.
