Pros

- Good compensations (salary, insurance, etc) - 20 paid off-days per year. - Easier to become a manager than most of other large tech companies

Cons

Really depends on the team. The following comments applies to most of the teams that I have heard of, but won't be true for everyone for sure. - Tech is really old and there are a lot of trivial work. It's hard to sharpen your tech skills. If you want to pursue a 'geek' career, that's not the place. - Bad work-life balance.

Pros

- Beautiful Office, - Pantry, corporate perks and Summer Party - Work is rewarding and not too overwhelming - The experience here is well recognized and valuable for future employment

Cons

- Very outdated technology! there are code still written in C and FORTRAN! - The MSG is terrible and you are forced to use it everyday sending/losing emails - Politics! Although to be fair, the amount of politics is very reasonable for a company this size - BA hissing down your neck, and you do have to work overtime sometimes
