Pros

In the first years, the atmosphere was great. There was a lot of great minds from all over the world you could work with. The company had so tremendous impact on the IT history, it was great honor to work there. Some of the projects were very interesting to work with.

Cons

Gradually, more and more privileges for the employees were removed. What was once prestigious place to work, became a sad, low payed environment full of frustrated engineers. And all of this happened while company had record earnings.
