Below the surface.... the truth comes out.
Pros: It is a relatively solid company that has a good history and longevity in the marketplace. There is a lot of opportunity for growth within the company, and it seems like there are some managers that really want to help you flourish in the company. They have a great work-life-balance perspective, but unless you're in a personal crisis - you are expected to perform above and beyond (as the norm)
Cons: Corporate bureaucracy, lack of employee appreciation, poor planning on many internal projects that lead to disastrous or clunky tools for the internal population. We're a top technology company who makes it's employees use antiquated hardware and tools.
