Pros

HUGE growth which means lots of potential to move up. Pay is good, stock isn't what it used to be but this is a job where you can network for the rest of your career!

Cons

Institutional inconsistencies mean promotion processes aren't consistent and can be infuriating. Silicon Valley mentality of "work comes first" and hard to justify normal hours (ie check your email at 10pm before going to bed or you'll answer in the morning)

Pros

Their IT department was initially challenging to work for but once I got in the groove it was fairly smooth sailing.

Cons

Some departments were not on the same page and hampered communication.
