Pros: Good benefits, the ability to work from home at any time. The company is a major global workforce, and a majority of teams consist of members that live in different states in the US. The cafeteria serves decent food, drinks are free, and the health gym is excellent for blowing off steam.

Cons: Low pay. If you get hired initially, negotiate a higher starting salary. A majority of people never get pay raises for two or even three years, which is shameful for a company this size. They do have the money, and they do have the process, so I am not sure why they keep insisting on keeping their employees down. Career opportunities are mediocre. You are able to move internally to any group, but promotions are hard to come by.

Pros: The work-from-home option is the best I can think of, as it allows you to spend time with your family, the flex time, the technology you get to work with, and the ability to move between groups. That's about it.

Cons: Pay raises are non-existent. That's pretty discouraging when the CEO gets $500 million in cashed stock options. And forget about bonuses. Only certain employee levels are entitled to bonuses, and those are "discretionary". They also have this rule that you have to be in a position for a certain amount of time prior to being considered for a promotion. Like longevity means anything? Promote people based on performance. HR also says they consistently perform market analysis of salaries to ensure they are competitive. That's a laugh. They are competitive in a good economy; otherwise, forget it.

Pros: Flexible work schedule and lots of opportunities to learn new technologies.

Cons: Salary not competitive with market.
