Pros

Stock price, free food, some smart people. Flexible working depending on your manager.

Cons

Office politics, and in some business units, there is a rapid increase in hiring externals rather than developing talent and promoting internal staff. This minimizes some career opportunities for staff.

Promotions are decided on favoritism. If you are a woman in development, then there are better places than here. Though it claims to be an employee-friendly company, a lot of changes in the recent past are worrisome.

Advice to Management

It would be nice to train the management folks on how not to throw employees under the bus to save the face of management. Management should empower employees rather than holding them back and demotivating them on an everyday basis.
