      Pros

      Good Compensation and Benefits. Most peers were a pleasure to work with.

      Cons

      Flexibility and openness have taken a nose dive as the company became larger and more compartmentalized. No one wants you to work on "the world's most interesting problems" no matter what their employment ads say. 20% time has become a myth. No one wants you working on their projects, or on your own.

      Pros

      Freedom to work and motivate one self. There is no micro-managing and you're given the freedom to work the way you want as long as it drives results. They also understand the importance of life balance and have helped me instill balance in my life.

      Cons

      I really can't think of anything. There may be times where you feel the work isn't right for you, but it's big enough that you're able to move to a project and location that suits you.
