Pros

Executives do a good job of fiscally managing company Nice Campus with on-site gym, cafeterias, and coffee shop Free drinks for employees Relaxed dress code Flexible work schedule If you look hard enough you can find some interesting projects to work on.

Cons

No salary increases in the last several years. Entire sites were skipped over even as other sites did get raises. Overuse of the words "collaboration" and "innovation" by management. Just because the words are spoken, that alone doesn't make it happen. Large corporate environment, lots of politics, process, and lack of communication. Lots of jobs heading to India and China.

Pros

The company is continuing to grow, creating many new interesting technologies to work on. Compared to other companies the salary is good, even better when you factor in bonuses. The work schedule is very flexible, and they allow telecommuting. Lots of perks like free soda, coffee, popcorn, gym usage, etc.

Cons

Some employees must work for remote managers since there are so many different offices.
