Pros

Large, stable company with great benefits. The pay is pretty good, and the stock has been on the rise for at least 6 years. Like any big company, you have a secure job. You don't have to work extremely hard, and the campus is very nice. I've worked as both a remote employee and a HQ-based one. Each was a fulfilling job.

Cons

Promotions tend to be hard to get. Typical large company problems, where you feel like you can't make a huge difference. Sometimes the process can get in the way of innovation. Hence the amount of small acquisitions. Small companies tend to innovate better than large ones.

Advice to Management

To more effectively communicate performance-based rewards.
