Pros

Big company with good benefits. Very structured. Some educational opportunities. Good vacation time (when allowed to take it)

Cons

Evaluations are too subjective and are up to the mood of the reviewing manager. Management likes to manage by terror i.e. they constantly browbeat you so that you are not of the "bottom 10%" that they fire each year. You can be in that 10% just by virtue of how your manager feels on review day. Promotions are difficult to get. Work in a bad neighborhood and you are locked in by a high fence.

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
