Pros

Fun environment, some amazing people, free breakfast and lunch, musicians performing at parties, opportunity to make a difference in some roles. Great to have you on your resume.

Cons

Employees rewarded despite bad behavior or disciplined for political reasons despite good performance. Politics run rampant and new talent is constantly hired instead of promoting from within. Employees leaving the company for advancement opportunities because there is little investment in existing talent. Also a lot of bait and switch with new hires who think they are coming in to do one thing and end up being handed something else.

Pros

Great benefits and quality of life

Cons

Easy to get lost in the size of the company. Always a "what if" after large layoffs.
