Pros

Best product set and philosophy in the industry Incredibly smart people, with Nobel laureates regularly in house Dedication to client service in the sales groups Entrepreneurship is encouraged Beautiful office

Cons

Few (if any) long-term career paths--senior leaders are lifers No internal respect for marketing or technology, which makes culture there miserable Zero employee focus beyond tepid and frequently ignored HR efforts Despite academic environment there is a hostility to debate and questioning of authority
