Pros

It is a big company, so you will learn a lot if you are just finishing college. The salary is also good if it your first employment, and it is adjusted once a year The company has a very good work environment compared with the local market, and there is no problem if you have to get later or leaving earlier if you have to run errands or have any urgency. Challenging problems.

Cons

Management says that the payment is accord to market, but the type of job needs people over the average, which is guaranteed during the interviews. The salary don't increase too much during the years (even if you are promoted), and management will not do a big offer to keep you working there if you get a good offer from somewhere else.

Pros

Great work-life balance, with nobody working on weekends and a flexible work schedule. Low stress. Many people work here for decades. Overall, people are friendly.

Cons

Innovation is difficult because new code must be integrated with poorly-written legacy code, exposing bugs at every turn. It takes years to become proficient enough to contribute intellectually, but knowledge gained is largely not transferable. Overall, low growth potential and low salaries. Lots of talk about diversity but little action. Not great for young and ambitious engineers.

Pros

Flexible in working hours. Lots of things to learn. Good leadership. Very stable job security.

Cons

Not much. Salary is relative low compared to FAANG. But it is reasonable since this is not as big as those. Projects are a bit intense since there are always deadlines. But once you get used to skills needed to know for those projects, you rarely work late.
