Pros

Autonomy, management leave you to get on with your work with minimal interference. The team are very nice & helpful & will support you in your work whenever needed. The work can be interesting, a lot of very clever and motivated people who are generous with their knowledge. Great opportunities to pursue further education & learn.

Cons

Labyrinthine, the place is huge so its very hard to feel part of something. No room to move around the company (despite what you may be told) - you get stuck in your role indefinitely and hit a ceiling after a few years & there is nothing your direct manager can do (they hit a wall with upper management) . Negotiate hard on entry; pay rises are few and far between - a parsimonious company.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
