Pros

Free medical/dental and free food (snacks and drinks). some of the smartest people you'll meet. that's about it. If you have another offer, take it!

Cons

1) no flexible time. 2) very long hours (9-6 manditory...though they won't admit it). take lunch or don't, you must be there for 9 hrs at least. and that's a short day. 3) project management is a joke. 4) proprietary technology and outdated. 5) forget finding another job. yuo'll forget what you know in about 3 months and won't be able to put anything on your resume. 6) they like to hire fresh graduates so they can mold them to their culture.

Pros

Great building, competitive salary, excellent benefits package, multi-cultural environment. If you are fresh from college, have no work experience, or would like to find someone to date, an excellent place to work! Unlikely to get fired for any reason. Free food. Really high turnover, so you may get a sales job even if you were a programmer.

Cons

The technology is ancient (the majority). A lot of programmers are simply maintaining legacy code (fortran, c) that cannot be retired or converted. The company also uses a TON of proprietary software, all developed in-house. For example, they've created their own Service oriented architecture (ala WSDL), two home-grown databases, entire UI framework, and other things.
