      Pros

      Depending on your manager and department, the company has a great work/home balance. I've been fortunate to have managers that will work with direct reports to find best balance between work and family demands. Growth opportunities are largely network driven. Ambition and innovation are rewarded. Mantra of casual intensity holds true.

      Cons

      Development opportunities vary widely by department. Career path is not clearly defined. Like most companies, you must be your own advocate.
