Pros

Quarterly social and celebration events, with free fruit and drinks provided.

A decent bonus and 401(k) contribution are offered when the company is performing well.

Good work/life balance and advancement opportunities exist, especially in the tech track, provided you have a good manager.

Cons

Like most other large companies:

  • Different groups will have vastly different work experiences.
  • Bad/indifferent managers can make life miserable and are very difficult to get rid of.
  • Compensation goes down when corporate profits go down.
  • Politics, especially between geos, slows down engineering work.
