Pros

Speaking for my specific team, it's great to be a developer here. The technical projects are engaging. There are opportunities to seek out new responsibilities and lead projects. Colleagues are very collaborative. The schedule is flexible, and there really is great work-life balance.

Cons

Some decision-making can be a slow process. The pay may be on the lower-end for a large software company. The hierarchy is flat, so there are not a huge number of official leadership opportunities.

Not a company for everyone

Pros

Stable company. Great location and facilities.

Cons

Some groups are poorly managed. Significant number of employees, including some managers, appear to have grown up in a culture where speaking up your mind is perceived as a sign of disrespect, even if it is done constructively. If you do not mind being micro-managed and follow strict orders, this is the company for you. If you get stuck in badly managed team, it is nearly impossible to move to another team. The pay is on the lower end of the spectrum.
