Pros

It's a household name for your resume. Sure, the company is infamous, but any press is good press, right?

Cons

HR encourages us to list a master's degree as a requirement on positions that don't really need one. That way, they can go to the government and say, "Look, we can't find qualified people! You MUST let us bring over some more H1Bs!" Then, after we've passed over some good candidates who had the misfortune of being US citizens, we bring over someone who meets our inflated requirements (on paper) and has a master's degree (from a diploma mill). By a strange coincidence, they happen to cost less than all of the US citizens that we passed over earlier.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
