Pros

If you find a good manager to work for (they're rare), you'll do fine. Comp is decent. That's how it was for me for 18 or so years. Mostly good people solving tough problems in a super-fast paced environment.

Cons

They cut engineering staff by a minimum of 10% every year. No matter what. Even top performers will be asked to go eventually, since they promote folks into a band without their consent (but you'll like it because comp will go way up at first). Also, it was very political at Principal level and higher. I know this because they kept a widely-known dumpster fire of a manager around by consistently reassigning him to other projects. There's more, but I'm saving it for a tell-all book.

Pros

Benefits are decent, with great maternity/paternity leave. Employees are very supportive of each other.

Cons

Senior management in Services foster a caustic work environment. While there I saw many occasions where a manager used intimidation, sexual harassment and bullying to coerce performance from the sales team. When notified of this, both senior management and HR did nothing. The turn over in Services is horrendous is due in part to this culture of harassment.
