Pros

Co-workers are all really amazing, smart, ambitious and young. They're the number one reason I come into work. Another benefit is the endless amount of resources at this company. You can schedule one-on-ones or white boarding sessions with some really talented engineers. Also, really solid benefits (i.e. health, vision, dental, etc.)

Cons

The CRM system to track your customers is horrible. There is ZERO culture. Middle management is almost always very inexperienced with how to successfully manage a team. There is no transparency at all on ANYTHING. The director of my own pillar doesn't even know where the direction of my team is going. The pay is so incredibly non-competitive for the industry, region and position.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
