Pros

A large pool of potential mentors, seems to be adequate support in teams for cross training, skills rehabilitation, professional growth as communicator and contributor. Excellent knowledge sharing in the form of collaborative tools such as mailing lists, chat, wiki, SharePoint, etc... They support Mac in the enterprise! Lot's of room for new ideas.

Cons

Extremely large company with distributed interests presents the considerable task of navigating various intranet resources and offices to locate information. It pays to ask for help, not necessarily a bad thing. Not much in the way of centralized information, that is left to the management chain with predictably inconsistent results.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
