Pros

Great perks, benefits, offices. Surrounded by smart people who are willing to do the right thing. Salary and benefits are competitive, although more companies are catching up on this front. Flexibility on time and location (i.e. work from home occasionally), depending on job and department.

Cons

Big egos, lots of brilliant technical guys who happen to be sucky managers, little regard for accomplishments outside the company (i.e. industry certifications), good people management in Engineering is still taboo (managers not interested in good people mgmt practices). Such a dynamic environment that feels like walking on quicksand, change fatigue quite common.
