Pros

Mostly very smart people who are passionate about their work. Excellent products you can get behind. And, they are generous with salaries & benefits.

Cons

Leadership is a 2-headed monster, both driving change and resisting it at the same time. I'm not normally a fan of corporate reorgs, but this place needs one. You can't drive change in the kind of decentralized organization they have built, which makes working there a pretty big exercise in banging your head against the wall. Plus, the politics are intense, and it is nearly impossible to get a promotion there. It was fun for a while, then it wasn't - your experience really depends on who's in your management chain.
