Pros
Good exposure to technology. They have the best in hardware and software techonology in use today. With the Reuters merger, they are now a behemoth. The Search Engine is a great technology, comparable to the best. Great job prospects, with support for advanced education. A quarterly finacial awards program for developers to encourage innovation is a bright idea from HR. It really works. Very diversity oriented policies.
Cons
Very old school and hierarchical. They even don't have the work from home option, it need special permission. Holiday hours are very closely counted. No laptops for even senior engineers. Office environment is very professional, but there is a general lack of friendliness amongst the people here. The HR negotiated too hard over salary.
