Pros

Opportunity to learn a lot. Most management are good, fair people. Getting much better about work/life balance. Overall, employees want to do the right thing.

Cons

At first it seems the company is on "cutting edge" of technology, but not as much as it should be. Can be difficult to be promoted; it's mostly who you know, what what you know.

Pros

- Huge company with a lot of resources. - Cool projects.

Cons

- Pay is not great especially for the amount of hours they want you to put in. - They do not pay for experience. So, it’s a good place to start, but if you have experience, go somewhere else. - They hire and promote way too quickly which means inexperienced people are in charge. - If you work in the field, you will be putting in 50-60 hours a week often and they justify it by saying you get subsistence. Do the math, you’re not getting paid very well at those hours even with subsistence. Also subsistence is a benefit for traveling, not justification for overusing employees. - While a lot of the people are good, it is a very political atmosphere.
