Pros

Big company, lots of benefits, good pay.

Cons

Layoffs frequent, managers change all the time and you can easily end up with a bad one. Some products are past their prime and need a massive overhaul.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Lots of smart, hard working, driven co-workers. Challenging projects to work on. 80 hours of time to give per year (volunteer time), unlimited PTO, 6 days for me annually, birthday off, 10+ holidays per year in United States.

Cons

Lay-offs continue to impact morale, and most teams are short-staffed and working long hours. The executive level politics are skilling the company. Lots of exec level turn-over . There is a clear feeling that the execs SAY they care about employees, but their actions speak more loudly that they do NOT care. The work-life balance is suffering for many.
