Pros

Health insurance, dental, and vision benefits were very good. Free coffee and soda were provided. The cafeteria offered good food.

Cons

Lots of corporate politics, a cumbersome and frustrating review process, and it was impossible to change positions if you were struggling in the one you were in. I ended up fixing other people's bugs for two years, working on mostly legacy code. My manager was a jerk. The commute also sucked. Quitting was the best decision I ever made.
