Pros: Awesome technology, great people to work with.

Cons: Overzealous legal team, extreme NIH syndrome, political nonsense.

Pros: 1. If you want a single office and tons of free time at work. 2. If you don't care about career growth and just want to relax. 3. If you can close your eyes to the dirty politics inside the company.

Cons: 1. They don't care about projects. 2. They don't care about your growth. 3. Lots of politics, and be ready to suck any shit.

Pros: - Good benefits, good benefits, good benefits. - Time-off is flexible and good, but that is because it is not a startup and no one really has a fire burning under their arses. Personally, I prefer driven people who drive hard and then after that play hard.

Cons: Innovation is stymied unless you have a degree to prove that you are capable of innovation. If you are a PhD, you can innovate during your regular work hours, and it is respected and time accounted for. If you are a Master's, forget innovation during regular work hours; you will have to work extra hours for that, and who wants to do that unless you are a crackhead scientist working for the betterment of humanity. Compensation is pretty bad compared to the industry, and promotions and raises are subject to your manager fighting for you with upper management. This won't happen if you get on the wrong side of your manager, say for personal reasons. So, there's no concept of peer reviews holding any water.
