Pros: The benefits were amazing. Working remotely was easy. The pay was decent. People recognize the name when you tell them where you work.

Cons: The culture is very corporate and "political"; appearances matter more than results. Management (in my piece of the enormous puzzle) rarely has any deep technical knowledge of the products their folks are working on, or who in their teams is actually competent and/or productive. SDLC is often a throwback to the 1990's waterfall methodology. Many developers expect to be told exactly what code to write, and there are no formal or serious efforts to share code or assets across product teams.

Pros: Excellent benefits, very bright engineering staff. Potential for high-impact assignments. Very good products.

Cons: The VP-level management is unimaginative and often pits internal groups against each other. Too many development projects never make it into products. Reviews, bonuses, and raises are handled erratically.

Pros: Good compensation and work/life balance (depending on organization).

Cons: Too big, too much red tape to get things done.
