Pros

Being in a big company has given me a great perspective in all aspects of job roles. There are unlimited opprotunities within this company, and if you have a passion, you are encouraged to drive it to completion

Cons

The company has become very big , so some of the process are still old and very generic and hence not very applicable across all groups.

Pros

endless opportunities and lots of support to do your best. there are lots of resources to help and a culture that rewards sucessful driven people.

Cons

brutal culture that sometimes rewards the wrong behaviour. seems to reward those that manage UP. there is also a perception that management skills arent as well respected as individual contributions, even at the cost of being a crappy manager. this can develop a mistrust of managers who seem to be looking to advance themselves and not help the team.

Pros

Excellent place to learn, almost anything is possible if you have the right social and technical skills. Great place to get experience and learn new things. Any idea can be developed into a usable product regardless of who you are. Great medical benefits and on campus services for working parents. Great open door policy. Great flex work- as long as you do the time. Great benefits. High expectations of results are equal for everyone. Nearly no red tape to get your work done, endless resources and access to information. Mostly very excellent people to work with, great open work environment.

Cons

Highly competitive, high stress, crushing politics, low incidence of women and minorities, gender and minority wage gap a problem. Recognition for results lacking. Who you know can get you farther than results.
