Pros

Clean, shiny, high-tech work environment. Game room I never bothered with. Lunch room with overpriced crap like a convenience store. Free coffee, tea. Refrigerators and microwaves for bag lunches. Personal lockable drawer for 'stuff'. Occasional free lunches or other perks.

Cons

Partial job training, with lots of critical omissions, and high expectations of performance. No clear chain of command. I had four different people claim to be my boss- none of them really knew my job well, and questions were often better puzzled out alone or with co-workers than to bother asking management. Lots of favoritism, no proper reviews and likely no standards for consequential 'snap' judgements. High security environment that is not compassionate of personal issues. One girl got fired for swearing when arguing with a security guard when she needed to rush to help her aging mother who had fallen.

Pros

The best company I’ve ever worked for.

Cons

Really can’t think of many. It’s heavily matrixed but that’s to be expected.

Pros

There are many non-traditional benefits that help with work life balance. The company’s brand and global reach are undeniable and reinforce the company’s compelling Mission.

Cons

People are expected to deliver above-average results with below-average processes. The stock’s performance has earned this pressure, but there is no obvious, quick path to improvement. Your experience in that corporate environment will depend on your supervisor either being a leader or a manager.
