Pros

Worker bee's are typically very bright and work quite hard.

Cons

You get ahead based more on who you know than what you know and/or how you apply the knowledge; management doesn't lead, they 'boss'. People are disposal resources, valued only until a cheaper solution comes along.

Pros

hands-off management style, name brand company, stable, decent benefits and work-life balance , product diversity and reach, competent co-workers, can always look elsewhere in the company (variety and diversity of jobs to move into), resources and deep pockets,

Cons

Politics, management turnover (constant), hoop jumping as a result. Individual stars rewarded versus team players, competition internally, good work can go unnoticed unless favored, engineering and technology driven culture often clashes with marketing elements

Pros

Privately owned company historically not afraid of investing in up and down markets. No quarterly Wall Street pressure means management can take a long view. Historically, very good compensation packages at all levels. Intellectually challenging environment with lots of talented people.

Cons

Recent, sweeping management changes have been tough on the rank-and-file, and the outcome isn't entirely clear, yet. Technical innovation is often dampened by "big systems" thinking and, recently, tight budgets and timelines. The downside of lots of talented / smart people is that one occasionally encounters staggering levels of arrogance.
