Cons: * Issues with working from home.
* A lot of artificial deadlines and emergencies.
* Getting increasingly bureaucratic as it grows.
* Very senior management does not care about lower level.

Pros: Nice snack bar, not too much overtime. Easygoing management style. Lots of events going on. They have great benefit packages.
Cons: R&D is not treated too well, sometimes being pushed around. Salary is not so high, especially for senior hires. Don't have too many promotion opportunities; you may get one after 5-6 years.

Ok. First job, very unsatisfying job in all aspects

Pros: When free food is the biggest perk you can think of, there isn't much else to like.
Benefits are good too, I guess.
And since they hire a lot of fresh-out-of-college grads, it can be a good starting place.
Cons: The work is very unsatisfying on all levels. New technologies are seldom used. There is a lot of work pressure and a lot of workload. HR doesn't care two hoots about you in any aspect. The work is boring and tedious, the environment is very closed, very hierarchical, and very bureaucratic. There are very few career growth prospects. The learning environment is very narrow, as teams are not encouraged to learn from each other and/or collaborate.
