Pros

Excellent work/life balance, supportive management, great benefits, good culture, many opportunities to grow w/in the company and obtain varied experience in multiple domains. Senior management had good mix of business and engineering expertise.

Cons

When I worked there, some organizations had too many (unnecessary) levels of management, but I've heard that this has improved over the last few years.
