Pros

You will be well compensated. Their benefits are the epitimy of the golden hand cuffs. Not to mention the other perks you get such as discount tickets to all types of events in NYC. They also offer free snacks. Their bonus structure is open so you know what to expect as a bonus.

Big Company with many people competing to move up.

Pros

Great offices, good name to have on your resume, great training available if you are proactive an your manager allows

Business Outlook

Pros

Excellent pay and benefits. The free soda and snacks are nice and the annual summer party is a treat. You do get free admission and/or discounts to a lot of good places!

Cons

Noisy!! You not only write software, but you are expected to fully own all aspects of it. That means you configure it, deploy it, support it, etc. (24/7) You are expected to produce software very, very quickly, but are denegrated if it does not meet future (and unplanned) demand. Terrible management who have a strong tendency to micro-manage. A truly surprising amount of bureaucracy and politics. Only certain groups are expected to develop infrastructure, everyone else is supposed to just bang applications together. They do not use Boost!
