Pros

Food. Looks good on resume. Bike rides around campus. Work/life balance was pretty normal.

Cons

Egos. Sexism. Top>Down management. Zero creativity. Lack of team environment. Ego maniacs. If you want to solve real customer problems, don't work here. This place is all about pushing sh*t on users, not solving their needs.

Bad: too much politics and not enough experienced managers.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good compensation plans (health insurance, food, cycle to work,...)

Cons

Don't fall into the trap of believing the corporate dream they are trying to sell you. You are right back in high school where people talk behind your back and decisions about your future are based on how compliant and discrete you are. Prepare to work unreasonably long hours to reach unreasonably high targets.
