Pros

Working for the greatest company on the planet has its perks: great benefits package, non-traditional benefits, stock purchase plan, stock grants, challenging and rewarding work, doing something that actually makes an impact on people's lives. It's also great to work for a company where the leadership actually cares about and listens to the employees.

Cons

The biggest drawback is the lack of advancement opportunities. Working for such a large company, you would think the opportunities would be plentiful. Well, they are. There's just a few dozen hoops you have to jump through. And internal recruiting will take at least a month to contact you about your application. If you don't get a interview, you're likely to never hear from them at all. And the pay could be better. Look, I've worked in HR, I know how pay bands are structured and companies have to be fair & consistent to avoid lawsuits, but when you hold back employees from advancing simply because they changed departments so now they have to wait 12 months to be considered for a promotion is ridiculous.

Pros

The compensation, benefits, and overall company offerings are top notch. The products and projects we work on are interesting and are seen and used by many. Being surrounded by many highly intelligent, motivated individuals pushes us to be better and gain more skills as we develop.

Cons

Work/life balance periodically gets skewed during deadlines, which can get stressful. Opportunities for career advancement are not always provided and many managers are too eager to "build empires" rather than focus on making their existing direct reports more successful.
