Pros

There are some good people in the company. Good technologies, good products. And the benefit is good (although it is going downhills). Flexible work hours as well.

Cons

Things can get fairly political from time to time, e.g. promotions, go/no-go on projects, etc. And I don't believe some managers are competent.

Pros

Nice environment for engineer like single office/liberal enough for discussing engineering topics even with outside working group. Variety of areas the company covers give employee for choice on internal transfer. Work life balance is enough good for those having kids.

Cons

Review system is bad. There is bunch of tools, but still not much transparent, and room for politic to step in. Compensation would not be much competitive with other top it companies. Even worse, famous health insurance coverage will go away from 2013.
