Pros

You'll learn a lot in your first 2 years. Working is very flexible, lots of smart people around to help you grow.

Cons

There is a too much overhead to your work (besides developing) such as meetings, planning. The development process is improving but is not as agile as I'd like.

Pros

It is a big company and has different areas that people can work on. The benefit is first class (at least for now).

Cons

As a company, it moves too slow. Management overhead is huge. As IC, I couldn't see the compnay is moving to the right direction.

Pros

good work-life balance, great benefits, multiple tracks to get promoted

Cons

compensation is average comparing to other technology firms, and too many re-orgs. Lots of employees are simply not intersted in doing the best they could. At times it feels disheartening as people who work half as much get promoted faster. Different groups have different standards for defining value, and is not consistent company wide.
