Pros

Smart and motivated people all around you. Most are experienced from other companies though we have some smart newcomers as well. Culture is basically fantastic at this company and you have a chance to grow your career here; Looks great on the resume too

Cons

Large organization cons - not as fast moving as some other companies. Had an idea for a project and just to get approval or dis-approval took 4 months (lifetime in technology)

Pros

Good health benefit. Private office room.

Cons

Favirism, backstabbing, brown nosing. Unfair performance review. Company culture encourages infighting and backstabbing. Your career is completely controlled by your manager. Requires working much more than 40 hours/wk. Many arrogant and rude coworkers. No human dignity. In summary: Politics!!!!! No management!
