Pros

It's a lot like school. You work really hard, learn a lot, gain confidence in your field. Some people are really nice, but unfortunately they don't stay.

Cons

People are generally unhappy. It's hard to work when you hear about people wanting to get out when the stocks hit a certain price. Turnover is about 20%. You don't get too much say in what you do. Its a little hurtful. Almost like they don't respect your opinions or concerns. It's like you're disposable labor. In the Bay Area, this is pretty common though, which is really unfortunate.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
