      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

      It's a big company and will work for you if you can get on a high profile project.

      Pros

      It's a stable company with plenty of money so there is good job security relative to many other tech businesses. The company provides good benefits and HR seems to have a vested interest in improving those based on employee feedback. Pay is fair relative to other companies.

      Cons

      The company has a poor ethical reputation which is conferred on its employees. Being a large corporation, all decisions come down to pleasing stockholders rather than making employees satisfied. Also, engineering managers are frequently promoted to those positions based on their technical skills rather than their ability to manage people.
