Pros

Great for work/life balance Competitive benefit package, but starting to become less so opportunities to grow knowledge tons of open resources for education and technology growth for those who are self motivated

Cons

moderate to poor support for those who work at home demanding deadlines incompetence is seldom punished overly concerned with shareholder value and not employee value

Has positive corporate structure and standards of behavior and fairness. Tries to leverage advantage of its size. Interesting work but not too stressful.

Pros

If you have a good manager the worklife balance is pretty good. It's a huge company and the little people can have an impact locally on things. In general a safe reliable place to work as long as you do your job.

Cons

The company is only focused on cutting the major expense which is salaries of employees, limiting commission payouts with unachievable profit and revenue numbers. this drives shareholder value as the expense line looks good. Too bad moral is not good in especially the hardware side of the business.
