Well-paid and pampered cog in a wheel
Amazing pay and benefits, but you feel semi-replaceable in my experience.
It's such a big company that if you're working on a well-established product, there is not much you can do except add to testing and maintenance software.
Endless number of redundant engineers, and hence why they could lay so many off and continue on fine. But it's so relaxed and people are generally nice.
Cons in the above too.
