Pros

The company provides a lot of opportunities to work on various projects and interact with different groups. In addition, it is fairly easy to move around to different groups. The results of your projects are very visible and you will have the opportunity to interact with management. The company has a very long-term approach and seems to be well positioned for the future.

Cons

The hours can be long. Because a sizable portion of the business happens around holidays you might not get these off. Additionally, management can be prone to micromanage its employees. This is very frustrating at times and can suggest that there isn't a lot of trust placed in employees to make decisions.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
