Pros

Great benefits, Diverse and friendly culture/environment, Strong client base, Opportunity for internal mobility, Good resources available through various internal teams/colleague's backgrounds

Cons

Many employees are in-the-box thinkers more taking orders than taking ownership. Several employees break down barriers while there are many more just coming in for their 8-5pm day. Very metrics driven - to the point of it being a negative in most employee's eyes.

Pros

Great medical coverage. Free snacks on multiple floors throughout the day. Medical center on site. Opportunities to move up as well as to take positions in other offices around the world.

Cons

Workload a lot for the amount of staff. I am referring to IT as that is my department, but seem to hear that a lot from people in other groups/departments as well.

Pros

No titles so everyone is accessible. Everyone has the same 4 feet of desk space, 2--4-6 monitors, 3 drawers all in an open environment. You could be sitting next to a Pulitzer prize winning recipient, a genius and an average joe. The pantries are awesome, office ambiance is great. Lots of internal opportunities.

Cons

some non technical depts can develop silos. Can be big brotherish.
