Pros

- Strong Benefits - Work on Software that the entire planet uses. - Loads of internal opportunities - Get to work with the best of the best (surrounded by super smart people) - The business model - sell you things you want at a fair price (not give you things for free in exchange for all you data).

Cons

- Poor management - Historical experiences hold little value - Only the highest performers are valued - To much politics - it is more of who you know that what you know - Noisiest ones in the room are the ones that are heard - In recent years too eager to make changes for change sake - Too much top down decision making - Overly PC - Diversity was valued as long as it met their definition of diversity. True diversity of values was not valued unless your values met their values.
