Pros: Great perks with free park passes and discounts on merch and hotels. Get to work with some of the world's best IP. Provided nice office equipment.

Cons: The biggest con was a very slow and old-school engineering culture. The terms "Retired in Place" and "Not Invented Here" syndrome applied. People were afraid to modernize tooling or processes because everything was so easy to break. High-level engineers were happy to waste days on scut work (the kind of stuff that is normally automated elsewhere). The mouse has pretty deep pockets, so it's not a skin off their back, but it's not a good atmosphere to build a career in (unless you want to be a career clock-puncher watching technology pass you by). Engineers didn't seem to be interested in fixing bugs or doing root cause analysis, just playing hot potato with them to keep work off their plate (and so things get dropped and don't get fixed). It was embarrassing working on software that was so unforgivably buggy and seeing how little the other engineers there cared about the impact on the end-user.

Pros: Good perks. Working hours are comfortable (people are happy with you leaving at exactly 5:30pm on the dot), or flexibility within the team for nursery runs etc.

Cons: Inherited a lot of really bad services, but new features are driven very hard here, so there's not a lot of breathing space to fix problems before they arise in a production incident. No progression/promotion ladder. Some very good employees have been at the company since graduate level and 3 years later have not seen a promotion. It is not a skill problem; it is a system problem.

Pros: Retirement savings plan, long-term bonus incentives, a Silver Pass to access the parks, merchandise discounts. The company has its own credit union, which is great in some situations.

Cons: In some divisions, the adoption of new technologies is slow. Promotions are rare, so you need to apply to new open positions from scratch to advance your career.
