Pros

Compelling corporate charge -- a true transformation environment.

Not friendly to women in tech, esp more mature associates. Shady business practices with IP. Be careful/mindful of what you choose to share. The company is trying to improve, but there is a long way to go before it is tolerable. Not yet an innovation environment,
