Pros

Lots of great people in the lower ranks.

Cons

Never felt job was secure. (layoffs were common and a lot of time they were badly planned and done) Engineering often had leaks to the public, but management would never allow security to fix those leaks. They would rather not restrict engineering and have half the world know what they were doing before it was done. Quite a few of their money saving moves ended up costing more in the end.
