Pros

The company is sanely run and tries to improve itself constantly.

Cons

Within retail, at least, there can be a little too much churn of trying to coordinate between large organizations. Some say that you have to work crazy hours. Personally, it was less than at any other job I have held - far better than most startups - but I presume that it depends on where you end up in the company. It's a big place, I expect that you can find almost any working environment, somewhere.

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.
