Pros

Benefits are phenominal, very easy to take vacation and flexible. The gym is great, cafeterias are quality and not too expensive. On site ping-pong tournaments are another perk too.

Cons

Promotions are very obscure and roles are very defined. A feeling of compartmentalization in this giant firm leaves me looking for more. Projects are so large and research is so slow that I feel removed from my work and have little ownership.
