Pros

They proudly claim to recruit the brightest and the best, and pay them pretty well. They are on the mother of all diversity initiatives

Cons

Then they treat employees like idiots! For example: "it's dangerous to walk and talk on your cellphone at the same time"; "walking is working". Now they've gotten rid of toasters in the kitchen areas out of fear that we're going to burn the place down! The diversity initiatives is really only directed at women and gays

Pros

Choose your career path. Compensation is very competitive. High performance is rewarded handsomely. Some positions allow you to create your own work.

Cons

Forced ranking system. Some positions carry a lot of stress and long working hours; weekends and nights occasionally. Some employees get by on how well they are liked instead of performance.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay. Awesome relocation. Most people make money when moving. Basically, the company will pick up the tab if you're underwater. Good for your resume.

Cons

Lack of work/life balance. Disregard for employee stability. They will move you to a new geography every few years. Refuse the move, and you will never get promoted. Extremely conservative management and values. Don't expect to provide any input on anything, including your career management. Promotions are decided by secret committee.
