Pros

Its a good company to work with in terms of compensation and facilities. Growing company.

Cons

Lots of basic things needs to be standardize. Management measure talent based on tenure which is not correct. Today's generation is very advanced. Things which took 5 years to learn in 5-7 years back in today's generation it takes hardly 2-3 years to learn.

Pros

great compensation - smart people - flexible work options - decent benefits - fast paced - leading technology - delicious cafeteria options - nice campus - good leadership

Cons

Depending on the team there may be a lot of politics at play, that can detract and distract from the focus on achieving goals together. However, most groups have great leadership and there are some great women leaders emerging over the last 2-3 years.

Pros

You get to work on some really interesting technology. The people are very bright. here is a lot of support for moving around internally from team to team to keep things interesting.

Cons

Not all departments are as good to work for as others. A lot really depends on your management chain. The HR department is constantly trying to compare itself to Google, benefits-wise. Which is a failure, because our benefits don't measure up to Google's at all.
