Pros

The ability to move around within the same company to different product groups and roles is unmatched in the industry.

Cons

The size of the company makes intergroup communication difficult, oftentimes there are multiple teams working on the same project without knowing what other groups are working on. There are also issues between product integration because of the current organizational structure.

Pros

great challenging work and high calibre smart co-workers. The work is great but often directionless . Often Big Bets are Off and realignments in organisations cause frustration among the employees who having worked on stuff for some time are not happy to see their work scrapped. All this because of poor communication from the middle managers to the ICs . As an organisation there is an excellent oppurtunity to learn tons of things and i would recommend it to every engineer/ p rogrammer as a very good place to work.Also benefits are good- Medical,Flex Time etc are great if you are having a family.

Cons

old boys network, bureaucratic when changes are concerned
