Pros

Interesting technology and projects, good 401k matching, and cheap health insurance.

Cons

The career growth opportunities are very limited (even more so for females and other minorities). I’m in one of the largest departments in the company and, in that department, I am only aware of four people who aren’t white males that have direct reports. If you do join the company for a resume boost, as a female or minority, you have to consider it as an investment of a certain number of years and have an exit plan to move on as you will not have meaningful opportunities for career growth.
