Pros

Great health-care benifits, cool co-workers, unlimited vacation days.

Cons

There is no worklife balance, terrible communication from executives, unrealistic work-load, managers are VERY self-absorbed. Abusive work enviroment (I've seen 3 out of 4 admin cry at their desk or in hallway).

Pros

The technologies being developed are great, and the folks behind them even greater. People are professional yet it still has that startup feel. I don't feel there are any silos between different teams. Most of my colleagues are incredibly smart and cool people. Executive updates are open and thorough.

Cons

Deadlines are too often pushed back. Executive updates look to be scheduled randomly. A few people don't follow basic engineering practices.
