Pros

still many smart people working together to get things done typically safe in product orgs decent brand to have on resume and decent benefits most people are really compassionate

Cons

don't count on any annual raises...usually delayed or just non-existent after joining it's hard to get any significant salary increases or transfer into new roles that aren't laterals they laid off people on maternity leave or dealing with serious illness and don't bat an eye very little communication internally about org changes, lay offs, future of business CEO is smart, but getting pretty elderly and many feel like some fresh new blood could be a shot in the arm the company needs no respect for employees as they are hard pressed to promote within the ranks (especially if making jump from IC to manager) Marketing is underfunded and undervalued and it shows Sales org churn is a given and it is hurting the bottom line

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.
