Pros

Interesting projects, dynamic work environment, frequent change of management and team members, OK pay.

Cons

Your career at any point is at the mercy of your line management, and sometimes you may be unlucky to have bad direct manager. Company strategy is to grow and develop every segment/product lines fully. Not only resources are spread thin, many lay offs, add on processes and management doesn't bother to increase employee's morale.

Pros

Great company to work for, great benefits, and a ton of career opportunities. Other than that, they don't have a lot going for them.

Cons

The market is very bad this year. They like to lay people off way before the market reacts. Their 3 pillars of success are People, Technology, Profits.... If People are number 1 then why do you lay off 25,000+ people to keep your share holders happy. Also, if you get laid off you're benefits are ended that night. Upper management is run by engineers you'll never see. There isn't a lot of support from local management either. The pay isn't the best in the industry at all. It's subpar, but the career opportunities if you can make it past this market hump are good.
