Pros

The benefits--IF you can make it past 6 mos

Cons

Old-fashioned technology; incompetent upper mgt that avoids answering questions so as not to be found out as incompetent; uber-corporate environment but one from 1989; android-like, super inflated ego types; database hacks; unfriendly. This place was a shocker--it is retro but in a very negative way. They use Dells and Blackberries! Are averse to change, and are always "too busy" to do any real work. Very low morale, a humorless, joyless place. And I think it is restricted...HR is a caricature of itself...

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
