      Not the place for good recruiters.

      Pros

      Like Disneyland, great food, fun environment, fantastic resources and a shuttle! Overall really great environment to be in.

      Cons

      Can't get anything done, so much red tape. As a Recruiter you are really just a paper shuffler and Hiring managers rule the roost so if they are incompetent then your hands are tied and there is no way to be successful. Huge company politics are in play and it is difficult to figure out who to align yourself with. If a process isn't working there is no way to effect any real change.

      Pros

      Good perks. There's a lot of smart people that work here. If you're a geek like me, then you've found your home.

      Cons

      Although promotions are said to be fair, it is all how you game the system and play the game. Don't expect to be put on amazing projects, those are for the super elite. There is a 3-4 year exit strategy here, and lately it seems its shortened to 1 to 2 years. New employees come in and realize this place isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
