Pros

Great benefits: health, dental, vision, and sabbatical. You have the option of taking four uninterrupted weeks of vacation every four years, on top of your regular vacation, or eight weeks off every seven years. There's also bonding leave for new parents (both male and female, as well as adoptive parents), in addition to maternity leave.

Lots of opportunities to explore new roles: you can take advantage of temporary development assignments or internal job transfers (permanent).

There are employee resource groups that help connect you with like-minded individuals. The volunteer and education/charitable donation matching from the foundation are matched 100% up to a certain dollar amount.

Stock participation programs and the like are certainly things you can take advantage of.

Cons

As with any large corporation, the asterisk indicates that depending on the team you work for and the business unit you are in, organizationally, your experience can be drastically different. There is churn; you will certainly want to keep your resume updated and skills fresh. It would be disingenuous to say that working here is perfect, but it is a good company to work for. Depending on what your skill set is, your options for mobility may be very limited, but if you are a technical employee, that should not be a problem.

Advice to Management

Full transparency to employees goes a long way during tumultuous times.
