Pros

+ Good salary if you ask for it in the interview process + Good healthcare + In most projects you won't be overburdened with work

Cons

- Don't except to get a raise without leaving and coming back which seems to be a standard practise - The manager to employee ratio is exceptionally high - Lots of managers who have no idea what they're doing - It's a big company so there's some bureaucracy

Pros

Excellent 401k matching (if you stick around long enough for it to vest) Employer-paid benefits Work with a highly regarded application framework (Qt)

Cons

Crappy work-life balance benefits, very uneven (EU gets 5 weeks of time off, USA gets 2 weeks) Not a team-oriented environment. USA (sales) vs EU (engineering) Sucky IT policies (bordering on paranoid) Cheap on salary. Big split in corporate culture: open vs closed source. Business mission flawed. Work office was often empty, very little team cohesion, lots of passive-aggressive behavior by management and colleagues. Outsourced HR and IT

Pros

5 weeks of vacation (European company benefits) Good medical insurance options Great product

Cons

clueless managers too much politics and high school-clique culture Too much Estrogen in the air No real mission or clear business objectives and long term vision Free product is so good few customers wants to pay for the supported version (like trying to sell extended warranty to Honda owners)
