      Great place to work, beware the bureaucracy.

      Pros

      Some of the best perks in the industry. Smart peers that can keep up with you. Offices all over the world. Flexible work hours.

      Cons

      The office politics are harsh. Not a whole lot of interesting problems outside of MTV. The size of the place may make you feel small.

      Pros

      The perks are legendary here. Contrary to rumors, the food quality is still very good, some of the newer cafes on the main campus get rave reviews. Get to work with lots of very smart people, with mostly good attitudes. Very academic atmosphere where research and analysis of data is the preferred way to guide decisions.

      Cons

      Very crowded campuses, easy to feel lost in a sea of employees. Free food, but nowhere to sit down and eat it. Not always easy to spend time on "20 percent time" projects as advertised. Lots of internal bureaucracy, surveys, and distractions of optional employee-oriented programs. Self-promotion is encouraged, so prepare to toot your own horn and compete for recognition of your project if you want to get promoted
