Pros

Good salary, benefits, vacation time. They seem have a decent pipeline, and are pushing for new products to reach market faster. People and environment are usually decent. Immense resource of intelligent employees.

Cons

It seems you have to know someone to get in, and be "chosen" to move forward into a higher position. Also, certain situations are not handled by management and HR in a confidential or proper manner.
