Pros

Amazing Benefits Comperable Total Compensation Flexible Word Schedules

Cons

It's very clear the most recent reorganization were made based on someone moving boxes on an org chart to middle managment that are "popular.' There was no understanding of the work that was actually being done by the groups that were moved. Six months later, still trying to sort out who should be doing what. How many hours you'll end up working really depends on where you work and who your manager is. Have been in groups where is 65 hour week is normal just to try to keep up and others where it's a standard 35 hours.
