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 and that's a short day. 3) project management is a joke. 4) proprietary technology and outdated. 5) forget finding another job.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 offices with a great kitchen (snacks, drinks, breakfast) Feeling of being plugged into an amazing communications network 24/7 (also a con) Ask for more responsibility and you'll get it (be careful how much you ask for) [Some] very intelligent and interesting work colleagues Good at spotting and rewarding talent Great focus on environmental issues, carbon footprint and recycling Great benefits

Cons

Working hours Work life balance That 24/7 plugged-in feeling works both ways [Some] not very intelligent and interesting work colleagues Technology not cutting edge (unless you're very talented and able to push something new) Lots of maintenance of existing systems Types of work, job satisfaction and colleagues very dependant on which team you join
