Pros

Great benefits. Vacation policy changed and so it is no longer an issue. Diverse projects to work on. Given a lot of independence and responsibility to shine.

Cons

Hard to move teams. Health coverage not so great. Benefits are slowly being eroded. Review system is not the greatest. Changes are afoot and so hopefully things get better.

Pros

Good working environment, a lot of training materials for new grad to start, technical driven, benefits, brand recognition, decent work life balance

Cons

The company is left behind in the Internet field. The mind sight is still software focused, not user oriented. There are too many processes and overhead, so it's not agile enough. It takes 3 years to transfer from China to US.
