Pros

Great coworkers, lots of opportunities to meet great people, fancy offices, interesting areas of research, great stepping stone for other career opportunities, lots of opportunities to steer one's own research and career

Cons

Uncompetitive compensation, squirrely HR, part of a huge company run by really old people who don't abide by modern design and usability standards, people work like they're at a bank and talk like they're at a bank and serve bankers as clients but are payed like NGO employees

Pros

Fast-paced work; Dull moments are rare. But that's becase ... (see "Cons").

Cons

Bad programmers abound. Emphasis is on rolling out software that's quickly written and does its job with no concern for software standards. I'm amazed how much untested software is rolled out to customers every week. Customers are used for testing. Very political atmosphere. Top management encourages competition between different teams, resulting in vitiated atmosphere. Company has grown very big and is dragged in different directions Core product ("The Terminal") has hit a plateau and things will be difficult unless radical innovations happen.
