Pros

Can be a great lifestyle job. Work from home a lot, not too much interference. If you get in a good team it can be fun.

Cons

It's all about being part of the right clique. If you're not, you won't succeed or develop very far. Boys club is everything.

FICO: good for your resume, terrible for your career.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Plenty of Chinese co-workers around you so China is off your bucket list. Free coffee and ramen noodles. Good gym. Great location,

Cons

HR shamelessly solicits positive glassdoor reviews. Legal department harasses former employees. Last century programming tools and terrible computing infrastructure. Modern programming languages and cloud solutions are ignored. Too much politics and very little innovation. Talented scientists are thrown under the bus of stack ranking employee performance.
