Pros

Overall the company is solid to work for, however, upgrading is very hard. If you have any kind of desired to move up, do not get hired as a hourly employee. The ability to move from hourly to salary depends on the department and it could take a long time for the department to even have open salary positions. Moving from department to department can be difficult as well unless you are good at selling yourself and being very bright and shiny. If you are just extremely good at working, but not really advocating for yourself, then this is not the type of company for you. The stock options are good, but are much better if you can get hired on as salary. Management positions are compensated well from everything that has been talked about. However, it seems management only does X amount of the actual work and more or less are in meetings day in and day out.

Cons

Work life balance can be hard if you want to promote within the company. Those who are not as knowledgeable, but more willing to advocate for themselves, will move up. If you are hired in as an hourly, you are going to have a hard time moving up the levels. Company is always pushing equality above quality. You are part of a machine that is moving at a blazing speed, if you can't keep up you will burn out. If you don't agree with your manager, you have the ability to say something, but not the ability to make them listen. Even if you have a large number of other employees saying the same thing.
