Pros

Very technology focused with a lot of opportunity to learn and build a career. It takes a lot of justification but if budget can be justified money will be spent on technology

Cons

Long hours, no work-life balance. There's a strong expectation for employees to devote everything to the company with no regard for family or personal interests

Pros

Respectable company, working with smart people for the most people.

Cons

Huge company, can be hard to navigate, almost impossible to get fired so good workers pick up slack for bad works. They need to trim fat faster and better
