Pros

This is an excellent company to grow your career. It is the first place in high tech where management is actually accountable for employee's career development and well being, as opposed to lip service in many other organizations. The workstyles program enables the workers to choose between working in the office and from home, which is huge for work-life integration. Corporate social responsibility is also important and they give every opportunity for its employee to give back to the community. The organization is strategically sound and financially strong, and is beating out the competitors by employing a customers-first strategy.

Cons

Pay is definitely not enough to keep top end talent. Because of the virtual work environment you could be caught in teleconferencing hell. Without physical presence you'll have to put in even more effort to network. Just like any other large organization, there are a lot of red tape and politics.

Often so busy, hard to make sure you get work life balance. Pay is okay. May not be enough to keep top talent.

Pros

The company is really focused on its customers - external and internal. It's an incredible company full of great energy. There's open dialogue between executives and the working level; everyone is frequently given ownership to voice their ideas. While there are days with long hours, the overall WFH/flexible workstyles facilitates work-life balance.

Cons

Sometimes we don't innovate as quickly as we can in terms of technical development. Additionally, the cross-functional teamwork mentality can lead to many repeated meetings. Maybe emphasize meeting pre-reads to avoid time wasted getting everyone up to speed during a 30 min call. Finally, base pay may be on the lower side...but there are many upsides in the form of benefits - stock/pension match, phones/subsidized rate plans, downtown office, etc.
