Pros

1. Working on hard problems that impact people's lives. 2. Benefits, especially 100% medical coverage. 3. Great training program. 4. Management assigns a task and gets out of the way allowing me to do it how I feel is best.

Cons

1. It is a big company and many times politics is just as important, if not more so, than the validity of the project. 2. Hearing people talk about how much the products suck gets old. 3. A feeling that change happens to slow to keep up with the market.

Pros

Working with smart and focused professionals on interesting technology

Cons

Lack of work/life balance. Too many "death marches". Agressive people with egos tend to drive milestones and program goals. Too many projects that are "me-too" and duplicate other companies success stories. (E.g., iPod -> Zune, iPhone -> WinMobile, etc)
