Pros

Worked with very smart, competent people while at this company.

They really do acquire good employees, and it had a very good team appeal in the work groups I was involved.

Many opportunities to make good business connections and move around within the company.

Cons

There are sometimes too many business processes to get through to reach the end result. During my initial time at this company, there were too many levels between individual contributor and CEO. It had since been flattened before I left.
