Pros

The company provides a lot of opportunities to work on various projects and interact with different groups. In addition, it is fairly easy to move around to different groups. The results of your projects are very visible and you will have the opportunity to interact with management. The company has a very long-term approach and seems to be well positioned for the future.

Cons

The hours can be long. Because a sizable portion of the business happens around holidays you might not get these off. Additionally, management can be prone to micromanage its employees. This is very frustrating at times and can suggest that there isn't a lot of trust placed in employees to make decisions.

Pros

Work with empowered, very smart people. Lots of interesting technology. Individual groups have a lot of autonomy and are empowered to make their own decisions.

Cons

Support of the tier-1 systems can be exhausting at times. Hundred of groups with lots of freedom sometimes creates duplicate efforts and mismatched goals.
