Pros

Benefits are the best I have seen yet (Medical, Vision & Dental). 401 OK. Pay is OK - not the best; and do not expect bonuses, profit sharing or monetary recognition on top of regular pay. Great first time job or internship. Plenty of bad managers - If you are lucky, you may end up under one of the few good managers.

Cons

Horrible Management (Few good managers here and there) Low morale across employee base (majority of employees do not like working there). Lack of proper training for new employees. Performance Evaluations will focus mainly on weakness in order to avoid giving pay raises (Do not expect a pay raise). Company moving away from telecommuting and work life balance - new expectation is 50 to 60 hours a week as exempt. Large employee base in India. US based employee's are expected to perform above India based employee's. Be prepared to put in 60+ hours a week to just meet expectations. Workforce is not considered an asset - employees are disposable. Therefore the large amount of open positions on Glassdoor and LinkedIn. My recommendation; unless you are desperate for a job, keep looking elsewhere.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
