Pros

Great benefits, gyms on campus, annual wine sale, lots of super talented people, product discounts, if you are good at establishing and maintaining relationships- its the place for you

Cons

works on a matrix- so too much design by committee, lack of clarity sometimes in roles and how teams work together, very boys club- not many women in upper management, abuse of bad work lingo that doesn't really mean anything, too much time wasted on "socializing" your ideas with bad powerpoint decks

Pros

Benefits Gym Slacker's paradise if you find the right job and hide, or enjoy talking in cirlcles about nothing in meetings all day without any tangible action.

Cons

athletes are given preferential treatement. For example, someone was promoted to a job they were not qualified for over someone who had the necessary experience, simply because the unqualified person was an avid runner and the qualified person was not an athlete. job evaluations very subjective, management too busy to real know what's going on and bases things on superficial understanding. People who manage up well get away with talking big but not contributing anything tangible, while others are held behind the scenes and do all the dirty work and get little credit. difficult to make things happen, need everyone's buy in, managers shoot down ideas that are not their own to avoid making it look like people beneath them have better ideas than them. VP of Ecommerce has no sense of reality. Poor communicator, horrible people skills, nobody wants to work for him. Doesn't understand Ecommerce and barks at people to chase down his scrambled and ill advised thoughts that incoherently do not connect to a strategy.
