Pros

Excellent benefits, especially if you are Sr. Staff and above(that's right their class system applied to not just salaries and bonuses)

Cons

#1 Arrogance runs through this place. #2 Outdated IT environment makes it difficult to accomplish tasks #3 Seems completely headless when making decisions, nobody is willing to stick their neck out, see #1. #4 HR/Recruiting are clueless and offend people for no real reason, see #1. #5 Entrenched management is checked out, leaving their "underlings" to do all the work. It's also impossible to advance in this company without having friends at the VP level.
