Pros

It is one of the best companies that I have ever worked with. Overall relaxed and open culture was appealing to me. Pay and benefit program is one the best. Opportunities to learn new technology are plenty. You can meet and work with great people.

Cons

Not much room for promotion. Too many layers in management. A few incompetent mid-level managers. Slow and complicated internal processes. Slow to new growth opportunities. Plenty of wasted talents.

Pros

Benefits, Corporate culture, and many the ability to work with some of the smartest people in the world.

Cons

Processes and procedures are very strict. The back-office processes are set up to enable the existing business model to maintain close to 40% operating margins, but is not nimble enough to support new business models. in order to achieve the high operating margins budgets are always very tight with not much room to fix things like the back-office infrastructure.

Pros

Development schedules are reasonable, projects are interesting, lots of smart co-workers across the company, we have access to resources needed to succeed in our delivering our products. Overall, it's a very nice work environment with a diverse employee population. Management is communicative at all levels, compensation does reflect contribution, and office politics are generally kept to a minimum.

Cons

The business side sometimes struggles to properly identify and size new target markets. The company gets sucked into opportunity tangents that are not core to our business or strengths. Business side also seems to struggle with what's trendy (like social networks), vs. what's actually profitable.
