Pros

The benefits are some of the best around. It takes only a couple of years to get 3 weeks of vacation and 1 week of vacation time. Health insurance costs are reasonable. Strong team environments and many opportunities to learn from others. A very relaxed environment, and flexible hours.

Cons

As with most larger companies, work environments differ between groups. Although my group averages 40 hour weeks, there are some groups that are averaging around 60 hours a week.

Pros

When a project goes according to plan you can work with some great people and make decent money.

Cons

Bad behavior is tolerated when you have a weak team member. They are allowed to remain on payroll, even if they do not effectively contribute. The burden is often placed on the team members willing to pick up the slack. Promotions are not given to the most qualified. They are randomly assigned. There are some horrible scoring directors as a result.
