Pretty good culture, but a bit disorganized
People take vacations, and it is expected that they won't be available (at least for junior level).
Reasonable flexibility to move in the directions you want to go over time.
Excellent severance pay.

Getting promoted is difficult; there are limited positions.
Best Buy is not doing great as a company, so bonuses are small and there can be layoffs.
