Pros

Excellent Benefits, interesting problems, relatively advanced technology.

Cons

Stack Ranking reviews with enforced ratios alongside a "reward performance" ideology. "Bottom 10%" must be found and penalized (even just after low performers were released). Jack Welch would be proud. Leaders like to imagine it's a desirable place to work, but it's been a cost-cutting, third tier organization for the past decade. Closed off the ability to advance aside from lower paid recent graduates.
