Pros

Company provides good benefits (yet), reasonable salary. You have some career path, although it becomes very tough at principal level and higher.

Cons

Review system is a minus. Every year, each group has to identify 10% of low performers and fire some of them. Benefits slowly decreasing in quality.

Pros

Good benefits, good initial salary, some good managers too. Some teams work on really exciting products.

Cons

Lots of poor managers, too much middle management that does nothing, CEO has no vision, too much support work for older versions of products.

Pros

salary and benifits are good long term outlook is poor

Cons

Poor executive management, policy of 10% of employees fired every year causes extreme competition and unwillingness for teamwork. It’s a savage environment to endure and burns people out, then management fires people and brings in new meat and starts over again.
