Pros

Very stable, very family friendly, the pace was usually relaxed, people were very friendly and usually helpful. Benefits were towards the top of industry standard, generally professional attitudes, very few issues with ego or dysfunctional personalities.

Cons

Very slow moving and bureaucratic, leadership was overly cautious and out of date, strong internal resistance to using "modern" web technology. Pay was below industry average for developers, most projects were delivered late with cut back functionality, and the company was mostly wedded to outdated management practices.

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.
