Pros

The bright, hardworking people are what makes it fun and worthwhile to work here. Groups integrate well together to achieve challenging goals under tight timelines. The technology is cutting edge. The benefits and vacation are competitive.

Cons

The company is large, and comes with all the inherent problems of a larger company: a lot of middle management - sometimes more people doing the talking rather than the actual work. Some management are better individual contributors than managers, and are only promoted to management based on seniority, so may not be good at managing people. The promotion process is slow, and salary increase is slow for individual contributors. A lot of politics and processes.
